Homosexuality

(** SECOND PRINTING ** - Newly formatted with enhancements of stories, personal accounts, and applicable scriptures.)

Can the penitent homosexual be healed from homosexuality? The answer to this question deeply concerns many people, for virtually everyone knows someone (i.e., a family member, a friend, a schoolmate, a coworker, etc.) who has in some way been adversely affected by homosexuality. Is homosexuality biological or the result of learned behavioral conditioning? Could homosexuality be a deep-rooted disposition within homosexuals resulting from relative unchecked inclinations and traumas during childhood? Christopher J. Martin seeks to answer these questions via his seminarian research and personal testimony, a story of redemption by the Lord Jesus Christ.

In this inspirational, sensational, and spiritual book, Rev. Christopher J. Martin provides something for everyone; all can benefit from reading it. It also presents research regarding alcoholism and drug addiction, providing accounts of people who have overcome these vices. Family and friends will benefit by understanding the plights and struggles of their loved ones. Fathers will gain a deeper revelation of how they can better raise their sons and daughters. Fellow clergymen will learn from Rev. Martin's mistakes and remember that all are prone to sin and need God's grace for salvation, deliverance, and healing. Pastors, especially those who become fathers in the gospel ministry, will read two profiles of pastors who served 40+ years in the pastorate. Via these two profiles, pastors will gain awareness of how relationships with their spiritual sons and daughters may be strengthened or, conversely, how they may be damaged or broken. Moreover, pastors may be able to glean insights on how they can shepherd their churches with a careful eye toward the needs and the encouragement of all parishioners. Finally, this book will help anyone to better understand and support the struggles of ex-gay/nongay Christians.
