| Synopsis (from Amazon.Com; written by the author) Hi. My name is David Morrison and I am author of Beyond Gay, a quiet, reflective, semi-autobiographical book about one of the most divisive social issues confronting Americans. I guess since I am a believer in full disclosure, I wanted to let folks know what this book is not, lest they buy it and be disappointed with their purchase. A while back, in the early 1990's, as I had begun to realize that I needed a deeper understanding same-sex attraction's role in my life, I had also come to feel deeply dissatisfied with most public discussion of "homosexuality: the issue." I came to recognize both sides in the debate, "conservative Christian" and "gay and lesbian activist," shared a need to treat same-sex attraction primarily as an issue for debate and demagoguery, rather than as a phenomenon individuals and families might struggle to understand in the context of their own values. In short, both sides seemed to forget that people lived behind the issue icons, press conferences, votes and direct mail letters; people who were hurting, who needed answers, who had needs that were not being met. So, then, I hope this book will not add any fuel to that fire. This book does not shout. It does not call names or stridently denounce. It does not seek to humiliate or go for the short-term fix. What this book does do is tell a story, my story, of one man's experience of same-sex attraction, of what I learned from it and, I hope, what it enabled me to write about credibly. Because while on one level the book is about homosexuality and same-sex attraction, on other levels its about deeper, more universal, themes; growth, maturity, change, friendship, discipline, love, intimacy freedom and hope. It's really about the discovery of faith and the realization that, far from being something static, dried-up and fit for a cabinet in the corner of a life, faith properly understood is alive and demanding, challenging and improving, life changing and hope restoring. Thank you for your interest in the book. |

| Synopsis (from Amazon.Com) John and Anne lived in different cities but shared the same burden-a heart-wrenching personal struggle with homosexuality. Love Won Out is their amazing, true story of how God's transforming love healed them from a life of destruction and then brought them together to marry. Through their touching testimonies, readers discover how the grace of Jesus can change any troubled heart into a new creation. The Paulks' lives are proof that no matter how far people may run from the Lord, the moment they turn around, they'll realize God's been running toward them all along. |
| Synopsis (from Amazon.com) Richard Cohen, a former homosexual, now married with three children, struggled for most of his life with unwanted same-sex attractions. He tried desperately to find professionals who understood his condition and help him heal. Because "it was so difficult to explain myself to therapists, who didn't have a clue," Cohen eventually became a psychotherapist and developed both a groundbreaking understanding of same-sex attractions and a comprehensive treatment plan for healing homosexuality. Coming Out Straight not only details Cohen's personal journey out of homosexuality but also recounts his experiences helping thousands of men, women and adolescents heal their gender identity. Recoginizing that the "gay rights movement" has done a great service in bringing the issue of homosexuality of the closet and into the light, Cohen points out that in the name of tolerance, society has now succumbed to acceptance. "If we embrace someone's homosexuality as normal and natural, their potential for wholeness will remain dormant beneath their emotional wounds. It's not bad to have same-sex attractions, as they represent a drive to heal unmet love needs. However, acting uupon them leads to frustration and pain." In simple language, Coming Out Straight presents the basic causes of same-sex attractions, a clear model for recovery, and stories of individuals who made the change. The book has three parts: In Part I, the author shares his own story and the root causes of same-sex attractions. Part II presents a four-stage model of recovery and healing. Part III discusses the healing of homophobia by overcoming fear and hatred of homosexuality. While the book is meant to educate therapists, clergy, and other professionals, it also assists those who struggle with their own same-sex attractions as well as their loved ones. Coming Out Straight sets forth an easy to understand primer on homosexuality, both for family members and friends of homosexuals, as well as for the general public. It will open the door to a new, happier, and fulfilling heterosexual life. |
