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.

Gilson speaks straightforward, biblical truth with gentleness, yet without apology. I especially liked her discussion on the purpose of two sexes, and the value of both marriage and singleness.
While the chapter on singleness was biblically accurate, it failed to address the depth of pain, disappointment, etc. that results from lifelong singleness, celibacy, and childlessness. (I can only imagine this is because the author married at 22 and is a mother, so simply doesn't have the experience for that communication.)
Note: Gilson uses what she calls her own "translation" of the Bible, which seems to be an amalgamation of various translations and her own paraphrase. I prefer for authors to stay away from paraphrases when they write Scripture as a quote, and appreciate when they just stick to one simple translation or version.
Overall, though, an excellent book and worthwhile read for all Christians. (
