Someone I Love is Gay: How Family & Friends Can Respond (Paperback)

Finding out that a child, spouse, relative or friend is homosexual can be an unwelcome surprise. You're hit with a complex combination of emotions - grief, shame, fear, guilt. You are flooded with questions ranging from why to what's next. You wonder what a biblical response would be. At the same time, someone you care about deeply may be awaiting your response. What should you say? Someone I Love Is Gay was created out of Anita Worthen's struggle over these issues with her son and her work with New Hope Ministries in San Rafael, California, and Bob Davies's personal experience and professional experience with Exodus International in Seattle, Washington. Drawing also on the experiences of others, they will help you to handle your feelings while responding appropriately to your loved one.
