Reviews

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

Solid, orthodox Bible study about issues of sexual identity and marriage, specifically addressing issues of the LGBTQ+ movement in the West. It is comprehensive and Biblically truthful while maintaining love and compassion for people. The FAQs throughout the chapters are helpful and would likely answer most people’s questions. Highly recommend - could be used for high schoolers or adults.

Solidly biblical, speaking truth in love

The book is in a small group, weekly study format. It answers questions from Scripture, as it should. Good stuff.

Thanks to Denny Burk, David Closson, and Colin Smothers, Male & Female He Created Them provided my wife and I with hours of good reading, deep contemplation, and open discussion. The authors present a solidly biblical view of gender, sexuality, and marriage. The churches and all church members in this day of immense confusion desperately need the clarity of the understanding conveyed in this book. We recommend this book without reservation. Hopefully it will be read, discussed, and applied widely.,
