Paperback. Zustand: Fair. 2025 REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION . The landmark book exploring what the Bible actually says-and doesn't say-about same-sex relationships As a young Christian man, Matthew Vines harbored the same basic hopes of many young people: to one day share his life with someone, to build a family of his own, to give and receive love. But when Vines realized he was gay, those hopes were called into question. The Bible, he'd been taught, condemned gay relationships. Feeling the tension between his understanding of the Bible and the reality of his same-sex orientation, Vines devoted years to intensive research into what the Bible says about homosexuality. He asked questions such as: . What was the real sin of Sodom? . What did Paul have in mind when he wrote about same-sex relations? . Is mandatory celibacy biblical? . Can same-sex marriage fulfill Scripture's vision for marriage? Accessibly written and carefully argued, this expanded edition of God and the Gay Christian includes an updated introduction, two new chapters, and two new appendices. In the book, Vines engages with leading critiques of his work and shows readers how affirming same-sex relationships can go hand in hand with maintaining moral boundaries and upholding an orthodox Christian faith.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Grounded in technical mastery, the poems in Out of Speech address issues both universal and timely. In this series of ekphrastic works, Adam Vines explores themes as varied as exile, family, disease, desire, and isolation through an array of twentieth- and twenty-first century painters, including Picasso, Hopper, Rothko, de Kooning, Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Artschwager. He also goes within and beyond these works of art to explore characters set in the present-day museums, from a bored docent to a misinformed ""explainer"" of an artwork's meaning. Combining these two views- one that looks at the painting and another that looks around it- his poems affirm the artist's insights into the complexity of being human.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The landmark book exploring what the Bible actually says--and doesn't say--about same-sex relationships. As a young Christian man, Matthew Vines harbored the same basic hopes of most young people: to some-day share his life with someone, to build a family of his own, to give and receive love. But when he realized he was gay, those hopes were called into question. The Bible, he'd been taught, condemned gay relationships. Feeling the tension between his understanding of the Bible and the reality of his same-sex orientation, Vines devoted years of intensive research into what the Bible says about homosexuality. With care and precision, Vines asked questions such as: - Do biblical teachings on the marriage covenant preclude same-sex marriage or not? - How should we apply the teachings of Jesus to the gay debate? - Can celibacy be a calling when it is mandated, not chosen? - What did Paul have in mind when he warned against same-sex relations? Unique in its affirmation of both an orthodox faith and sexual diversity, God and the Gay Christian has sparked heated debate, sincere soul search­ing, and widespread cultural change on the issue of what it means to be a faithful gay Christian.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Overview: In the epilogue of this book, the author shares his frustration with trying to motivate Christians to heart-felt service. After more than 30 years of leadership ministry, Vines tells us that he has finally learned a key principle. "You cannot manipulate and coerce people into living righteous lives of service and obedience to God."In this important and thoughtful book, Jeff Vines, a pastor, opens up his heart to the readers and relates a personal journey that has at its center a desire to know and love Jesus. Drawing near to Jesus is the very secret of motivation for all meaningful Christian service. It is possible to respect Jesus, to honor Him and even obey Him, but that is not the same thing as loving Him.Vines shares many principles and reflections demonstrating how he continually opens himself to the love of the Lord. "Make no mistake, God wants relationship with us and not merely a functional relationship but one that goes deep into our very mind, heart and soul. As intensely desperate as we are to know God, He is even more determined to reveal Himself to us." (page 33)Features: Though an excellent stand-alone study, this book is easily used for group studyExcellent resource material for sermon or lesson preparation on the subject of "Knowing God" Crisp, compelling writing Numerous stories and illustrations including "why do bad things happen to good people?"A special chapter at the conclusion of the book is entitled "A special note to pastors and leaders" relating the book's content to their task in a personal way.…
