This book is a must read, the gay community has a history of censorship so if you can buy it please do it.
 "A timely publication" February 19, 2003

I grew up in gay culture and for years beleived the lie that no one could change. I am now 27 and am married and have two kids. I am happy to have read this publication. I bought the silly tales by gay activist, that just because homosexuality was in wildlife that meant it was okay. My freinds in the late 80's were dying of Hiv while gay activist refused to close the bath houses of San Francisco. I amso glad to be over that and am aware of this sinister movement. Gay people and Gay activist are two differnt groups. I loe to talk to gay people gay ativist are beyond talking to. I am happy and am not even a christian I am an athiest. So you can be ex gay and not be religous. Science is abounding with information that says sexuality can be changed by enviroment. The gay activist through means of intimidation not science got some of americas most cherished medical institutions to bend to there whinning. The American Psyciatric Association is about to get a huge law suit by former gays. I hope this will teach them to be honest.

 Outrageous! September 27, 2002

If you are dealing with the revelation that you have a gay family member (particularly a son or daughter), avoid this book. This book is not only unhelpful, but it is extraordinarily dangerous, unless of course you intend to drive a life-long wedge between you and your gay family member. Tomes of scientific research and 99.9% of gay people indicate that homosexuality is not something that can be changed. It is an inherent characteristic just as being left-handed is. One is better off reading a book about accepting your gay family member for who they are. Do yourself a favor and get over your Biblical belief that homosexuality is wrong nor an inborn characteristic,... The majority of problems gay people face are directly created by the continued intolerance shown toward them in our society. As for AIDS that is a problem with promiscuity among certain gay people as well as certain straight people. AIDS is not an inherent danger of homosexuality. If we, as a society, did more to encourage gay people to enter into life-long committed monogamous relationships though marriage, the incidence of AIDS in the gay populous would decrease significantly.

After learning that my daughter was leaving her 4 young children and a very loving husband to persue a lesbian relationship, I was devasted. Nothing can take away the terrible pain this has caused in family members, friendships, and fellow missionary friends and associatiates. Her dear husband recommended this book to me and it was a lifesaver for me. I still hate that this terrible thing has happened but I am now able to understand something about which we are dealing. I would recommend this book to anyone going through this painful discovery.

Cleverly disguised as concern and professions of faith, this book will teach you to loathe your gay child and to don a mantle of silent, superior suffering. You will be taught to ignore your child's professions of happiness and to remain smugly sure -- regardless of your child's age -- that you know what is in their hearts and what can't possibly make them happy. You will be told to grieve, not celebrate, when your child is honest with you. Censure, kidnapping, ostracism, brainwashing -- these are the "appropriate" responses that this book will teach you all because your child trusts you enough to say, "I'm gay."The appropriate response to this book -- full of discredited "research" -- is not to buy it. Instead, sit down and talk with your child about what they want from life, what makes them happy and how you can HELP them get there. Let your love show. Leave the judgement to God.
