RECOMMENDED READING LIST
MONTHLY READING & RESOURCES
Each month we provide a list of resources that may be helpful as one navigates the issues surrounding sexuality and relationships. The following provides resources for this month.
RECOMMENDED READING LIST
WGA does not agree with everything that is presented in all of the books listed below. Instead this list is used by group members before entering into discipleship counseling as a way for members to begin to think about possible issues that they may have, some of the things that could have caused those issues and possible steps to begin or continue the process of healing in those areas.
WGA offers the Amazon link as a convenience to help people find the books we recommend; we do not endorse, nor approve of all books and links that may appear on the Amazon website.
