Emerging Sexual Identities: Navigating the Landscape with Today's Youth

By Julia Sadusky and Mark Yarhouse

According to a recent Gallup Poll, 20.8% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ+. This book offers a measured Christian response to the diverse sexual identities that are embraced by more and more adolescents, and explains how these identities function in the lives of today's youth.

Mark Yarhouse and Julia Sadusky offer a nuanced, thoughtful, and orthodox approach for readers accompanying those navigating sexual orientation questions, including parents, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, and counselors. They help readers understand the new taxonomy of sexual identities that enable today's youth to account for their sexuality in a more precise way.

Based on the authors' significant clinical and ministry experience, Emerging Sexual Identities places this cultural development in historical context and casts a vision for practically engaging and ministering to teens navigating diverse sexual identities.
