Recommended (Christian) books
Dear readers,
The followings are a few of selected / recommended Christian books. This morning, I received a book written by Ps. John Ortberg, "Everybody's normal until you get to know them." The point in this book, as I just read the first chapter, is that all of us are not quite "normal", in a sense of being perfect.

While I hear that he is not a senior pastor anymore at Menlo Park, but I admit he is still one of my favorite book authors, including also with Kosuke Koyama and Hwa Yung, PhD.

Nonetheless, just because there is no actual perfect person, and just because APA guide excludes LGBTQ as abnormal behavior that needs treatment, there are some guides to help them. Especially for councelors and psychotherapists, the following two books can be recommended, by Dr. Joseph Nicolosi (he was a founder of NARTH, which has become a subject of repression by other fellow secular professionals/psychoterapists.) See also debates concerning pro and cons of LGBTQ in APA and also in USA in general.

Conclusion
Last but not least, if you believe and accept Jesus Christ as your savior, but stil needs help for healing, from trauma, depresion, anxiety and LGBTQ etc., allow me to recommend this book by one of the best in applied kinesiology and consciousness research. A book by the late Sir Prof. David Hawkins, PhD.
