Check out the top 24 LGBTQ Christian books of 2024 — including theology, Bible, memoir, church life and history by diverse authors. The list was announced today by lesbian Christian author Kittredge Cherry, founder of Qspirit.net.

“Literary books were this year’s hottest trend, with a novel and poetry book among the top three bestsellers. The ever-popular topic of transgender theology came in second place,” she said. “Book bans and inflation couldn’t slow the flow of LGBTQ Christian books in 2024.”

This year’s books range from user-friendly guides to serious academic studies and first-person accounts. They come from a wide range of authors from different races, ages and gender identities in the mainline Protestant, evangelical and Catholic traditions from North America, Europe and Australia.

“Black voices were strong in 2024,” Cherry said. “Usually I struggle to find books based on black experience, but this year there was an abundance worth celebrating.” Four books on African American themes made the top-books list, with even more on the bonus list.

Another new trend led to an expanded “coming soon” section at the end of the top-books list: This year publishers started announcing their forthcoming titles much further ahead — sometimes almost a year in advance. “Get ready — 2025 promises a powerful lineup of LGBTQ Christian books,” Cherry noted.

“Queering” continued to be a fashionable way to start a book title. The 2024 top-books list includes “Queering Contemplation,” “Queering Black Churches,” and Queering My Religion.” The bonus list adds “Queering the Pulpit” and “Queering the Prophet.”

With anti-LGBTQ hate on the rise in US politics, love stood out on LGBTQ Christian bookshelves in 2024. The phrase, “Love is….”  started the titles of two books on the list: “Love is the Why” and “Love Is Greater than AIDS.”

LGBTQ Christian books can be hard to find

Many books with major LGBTQ content were given generic titles in 2024, continuing a trend. “It reminds me of the old days when authors had to be closeted,” Cherry said. “Today’s queer authors may choose vague titles out of a desire to avoid labels and reach a broader audience. But it makes it tough for readers to find LGBTQ Christian books.”

That’s where Q Spirit comes in. “The Q Spirit list is here to help,” Cherry affirmed. “Q Spirit’s annual top-books list is more valuable than ever because it keeps getting harder to find them.”

Readers praise Q Spirit’s annual list of the best LGBTQ Christian books as “my go-to guide for comprehensive listings of queer religious publishing” with “information you can find nowhere else!”

Readers can click the titles or book cover images to go to the book on Amazon. The book list is followed by an LGBTQ Christian gift list with hidden gems.

The 2024 list has something for everyone who cares about LGBTQ Christian lives. “These books will make great holiday gifts,” Cherry concluded. “Happy reading!”

BESTSELLER AT Q SPIRIT
1. “Dayspring” by Anthony Oliveira.

Christ’s beloved disciple comes alive in a queer literary retelling from a major publisher.

The first page says, “And the word became flesh: coarse hair. crooked smile. the taste of salt on his clavicle. i am the disciple whom he loved.” Billed as a debut novel, “Dayspring” blends prose, poetry and memoir, switching between 21st-century Canada and first-century Nazareth. Jesus’ words as imagined by the author are printed in red like a red-letter Bible. Both sacred and profane, the book is loaded with literary references. The GLAAD award-winning author grew up queer in a Portuguese Catholic family in Canada and earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Toronto. Published by Strange Light, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

The author works at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco after serving as the first openly transgender bishop in a mainline denomination.

book Queering Contemplation
BESTSELLER AT Q SPIRIT
5. “Queering Contemplation: Finding Queerness in the Roots and Future of Contemplative Spirituality” by Cassidy Hall.

Listening to silenced queer voices opens up the contemplative Christian tradition as the author shares her reflections and research. Embracing her own queer identity enriches and deepens her connection with the divine. Visiting all 17 Trappist monasteries in the United States, she makes a film about celebrated monk Thomas Merton and then “breaks up” with him. Instead she seeks out contemporary and historical queer guides. She discerns the difference between toxic silence and loving silence. Queer saints and mystics discussed include Juan de la Cruz, Matrona of Perge, Symeon the Holy Fool of Emesa, Walatta Petros and Marinos/Marina the Monk. Each chapter ends with an interview with a spiritual author / teacher such as Michael Diaz, Mihee Kim-Cort, Lisa Isherwood — and Q Spirit founder Kittredge Cherry. Author Cassidy Hall is a United Church of Christ minister and communications director with a master’s degree from Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis.

The author is a New York City writer, comedian, producer and speaker who confesses, “I wanted to be a minister, but who would have listened to an effeminate gay man talking about God from the pulpit?

New LGBTQ Christian gifts

A Gay in a Manger shirt
