Through the writings and interviews of several contributors, Voices Against the Grain seeks to “advance God’s Kingdom in a ‘do your own thing’ society,” with a goal to: dispel common societal deceptions about relationships, sex or other, to help restore broken areas of a person’s life, to educate and equip persons in God’s Word, and to show love while instructing the truth.
