Hope for the Same-Sex Attracted


I received a copy of HOPE FOR THE SAME-SEX ATTRACTED: BIBLICAL DIRECTION FOR FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBERS, AND THOSE STRUGGLING WITH HOMOSEXUALITY by Ron Citlau from Bethany House in exchange for an honest review. 

Many of my friends are homosexual.  I have seen them struggle personally.  I have seen their families struggle to accept them.  I have seen the cruelty shown to them on a daily basis.  It is disheartening.

I am religious.  I find solace in religion, and while many of my homosexual friends were religious growing up, some of them have turned away because they don’t feel accepted, or worse – have been told to turn away.  I found this book refreshing in that it isn’t just preaching.  It reflects on the author’s personal experiences.  It is written in a conversational way that keeps the chapters fast-paced.

Don’t expect an answer.  Don’t expect hate.  Instead, this book teaches thought, reflection, and love.
I recommend this book to those who wish to think more about the topic of homosexuality.
