A Mother’s Reflection on Homosexuality
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
"As we drove over a bridge...Brian suddenly asked me,"What would you say if I told you I 'm gay?" Tragically, my first response was completely self-centered. 'It's my fault,' I blurted out....Only then did I try to assure him that my love was unconditional. I was completely unaware that while I did love Brian, I was years away from full acceptance of his homosexuality."
"By the time I got to the end of my research, I felt free...Freed in the knowledge that such condemnation would never have been possible since Scripture is the revelation of a totally loving God, freed not only to accept my son, but also to defend him and all homosexuals with my new evidence."
