Revival and Homosexuality: The 2 Essays

"The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eyes toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go." A W Tozer Most books written about homosexuality and the Church discuss the issues of Biblical authority, social reform and how to change unwanted sexual attractions. Revival and homosexuality discusses these same topics but points to the One who brings those changes to the Church, society and in individual's lives.
