 Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse
by Dr. Rembert Truluck
From the author:
This book is a response to the abusive use of religion.
My book is a response to the abusive use of the Bible against Gays and Lesbians and all others oppressed and alienated by religion. The book is the product of almost 50 years of work as a
Southern Baptist pastor and university Bible professor, research and teaching, leadership of small group spiritual recovery groups in Metropolitan Community Churches, and almost 10 years in
actually writing and revising the book.
The book includes extensive resources and bibliography along with references to web site material. The aim of the book is to provide information and incentive for spiritual recovery and growth.

 We Were Baptized, Too: Claiming God's Grace for Lesbians and Gays
by Marillyn Bennett Alexander and James Preston
Within the liturgy, congregations pledge to accept, love, forgive, and nurture the newly baptized
member. The church, however, often lives out this covenant selectively, forcing its gay/lesbian members into silence, alienation, and doubt.
This book challenges the church to take seriously its understanding of baptism and communion as a means of grace, justice, and liberation. Contains many heartfelt personal stories.
