Gender identity - some helpful books and articles
Following on from the morning sermon on Sunday March 11th here are some books and online articles that might be helpful for those who want to read further about the issue of gender identity and the Christian's response not only to the issue but to those wrestling at a personal level. Generally speaking they are written with a view if I may borrow from one of the publishers to helping Christians 'think biblically, act wisely and relate lovingly' when it comes to that response.
