What Others Are Saying "In Embodied, my friend Dr. Preston Sprinkle tenderly tackles topics most run from. He hosts the very conversations the church avoids or mishandles. I fought back tears as I read and found myself convicted, challenged, and equipped to love, listen, and learn. Everyone deserves to know that they are intimately woven for the love of God.” Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling author of Without Rival What Others Are Saying “Dr. Preston Sprinkle has become the go-to voice for a biblical theology of sexuality that is orthodox, intelligent, well-researched, nuanced, open-minded, yet firm in conviction, compassionate, and above all, grounded in reality. This book has more than dry data; it has compelling stories of real flesh-and-blood sexual minorities and their quest to follow Jesus in a cultural moment of ideologies and agendas. This is simply the best book I’ve found on the subject.” John Mark Comer, pastor for teaching and vision at Bridgetown Church and author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry What Others Are Saying “Preston’s Embodied is one of the first (and most comprehensive) theological looks into the trans* conversation. As a non-binary Christian I am thankful that he has offered a much-needed voice to this topic. While we do often come to different conclusions, I greatly appreciate his voice in this conversation and his sincere desire to present a holistic approach to better love and understand trans* people in our churches.” Lesli Hudson-Reynolds, gender identity ministry director of Posture Shift What Others Are Saying "Whether you are a scholar looking to understand the issue more deeply, a parent trying to help his or her transgender child, a friend wanting to better love transgender people, or someone wrestling with your own gender identity, this book will be an indispensable resource. My thanks to Sprinkle for writing and researching such an important and timely book.” Sean McDowell, PhD, associate professor at Talbot School of Theology, speaker, and author of Same-Sex Marriage With careful research and an engaging style, Embodied explores: Why more and more teens are questioning their gender. Practical advice about which pronouns to use and how to navigate the bathroom debate. How being created in God’s image as male and female relates to transgender experiences. Scandalous Grace Embodied Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage? Exiles Description Reveals God’s stubborn delight in His enemies–how He doesn’t just forgive us but actually enjoys us with an unleashed, undomesticated, and scandalous grace first shown on the pages of the Old Testament. A thoughtful Christian approach to the transgender conversation that radiates both love and compassion while navigating the theological, scientific, and relational complexity of the topic. With a scholar’s mind and a pastor’s heart, Preston Sprinkle offers a thoughtful and gracious treatment of one of the most divisive topics of our time—whether the Bible supports same-sex marriage. A timely exploration of the intersection of faith and politics, Exiles examines the political identity of the Church throughout history and offers practical guidance for Christians living in today’s secular society.

This book has reignited my passion for reading. It reminded me of the sheer joy that can be found in losing oneself in the pages of a good story. I can't wait to explore more books now.
