“Definitive.” – The BookLife Prize (Publisher’s Weekly) Is someone you love struggling with their faith over LGBTQIA+ questions? College media instructor Karl W. Beckstrand (M.A., conflict resolution) has lived abroad and realized most of his bucket list; but his relationships were far from satisfying. Today, he enjoys profound, lasting union. Yet relationship bliss can be elusive for many. Same-sex emotional needs (like those for food) are gifts from God—not to be ignored. God can help us fulfill needs while honoring his will. Expressed in His way, queerness is part of God’s plan for happiness; has anything taken Him by surprise? Beckstrand shares scriptural keys to creating (or healing) deep same-sex bonds. As needs are met, generous feelings replace discouragement, even addiction. These concepts apply to men, women, gay, straight, single, and married people. http://PathsPress.com and all major distributors; 56,000 words, 250 pages, hard/soft/ebook/audio, eISBN: 978-1005507831, Hard ISBN: 978-1951599157, Soft ISBN: 978-1951599164 (Sept. ’22)
