For those who would like to make progress in learning more about God’s good design for human sexuality as well as God’s gracious provision for our sexual brokenness, our staff has put together a list of recommended books, podcasts, and panels.
Note: We recognize that these topics are deeply personal for many. We would be honored to have the opportunity to meet with you and hear your concerns. If you are struggling in the areas of gender and sexuality and would like to speak with someone on our ministry staff, please email us at shepherding@2pc.org
All book titles listed are available in the Bookmark Bookstore and the 2PC Library.
