Born Again This Way

Coming Out, Coming to Faith, and What Comes Next

By: Rachel Gilson

Narrated by: Rachel Gilson

Christian Book Award - Finalist 2021!!

A rich portrayal of living faithfully and happily as a Christian with same-sex attraction that paints a compelling picture of discipleship for every believer.

In this powerful and personal book, author Rachel Gilson describes her own unexpected journey of coming out and coming to faith... and what came next. As she does so, she addresses many of the questions that Christians living with same-sex attraction are wrestling with: Am I consigned to a life of loneliness? How do I navigate my friendships? Will my desires ever change? Is there some greater purpose to all this?

Drawing on insights from the Bible and the experiences of others, Born Again This Way provides assurance and encouragement for Christians with same-sex attraction, and paints a compelling picture of discipleship for every believer.

Whatever your sexuality, this book is an inspiring testimony of how a life submitted to Jesus will be fulfilling and fruitful, but not always in the ways we might expect.

Great discussion on needed topic.

Rachel sheds light on a dim topic in the church. Jesus is light to a dark world so looking at these issues is a good way to see and think about what the Bible has to say about same sex attraction, singleness, and identity. Great window into this world. May Christian’s bravely wrestle with these issues. It may help many more than this small group of same sex people. Thank you Rachel.

Bible based and always pointing back to God

Rachel uses the Bible, not her feelings/political views/personal opinions to walk through a subject that is often covered up rather than openly meeting it with the Gospel.

Even as someone who does not struggle with same sex attraction, I felt ministered to and have a deeper understanding of the gospel and appreciation for Gods good design for marriage (especially coming from a culture that has a very different narrative).

What a blessing!!!

Appreciate the transparency, and the call to compassion, as well as a deep passion for God and purity.

Breaking the Shame of Sexuality

This book gave me a glimpse of the struggle of Christians coming from a life that fully embraced same sex attraction. The author thoroughly addresses the challenges without denying the sin.

Beautifully written, performed and executed. I recommend this book to pastors, ministers and all Christians, no matter their sexual proclivities.

A genuinely wonderful audio book

This audio book was read more naturally and authentically than any other one I've listened to, to date. It's content was also great.

The author does a masterful job of interweaving her personal journey, well-reasoned theology, and compassion for alternative thinking. This is is a biblically-based must-read in today's western christian culture.

The author gives valuable insight into the topics of same-sex attraction, biblical marriage, discipleship, etc. out of an obvious personal relationship with Jesus. This is a great book for anyone in ministry in the West, anyone with a friend or relative who is same-sex attracted, or anyone struggling with personal same-sex attraction.

I highly recommend this audio book!
