Some gay Christians have sought healing. Others have turned away from a conservative interpretation of the biblical texts. Others have remained celibate and invested their lives in Christian service. All have found that their sexual orientation has strongly influenced who they perceive themselves to be, and how others perceive them.

Jeanette believes that to identify herself as 'gay' does not do justice to what God has been doing in her life. As a Christian you can be identified by the fact that you belong to Christ.

Allowing God to dismantle your false identity permits you to live out of your authentic self. As you grow in Christ you are able to perceive true goodness and health; you rid yourself of old habits of thinking; you learn to recognise what is holding others back; and discover new areas of ministry. You do not have to accept the labels that the world - and the church - attach to you.

Jeanette's book is in four parts: Identity; Surrender; Abiding; and Fruitfulness.
