Too often, especially in the church, the subject of
homosexuality causes deep misunderstanding and painful rifts. Is it
really possible to believe that homosexuals did not choose that
lifestyle, and yet maintain biblically that the behavior is sinful?
Yes, says author Francis MacNutt, and the prayerful result leads to
a new possibility: Jesus Christ can transform the homosexual's
orient-ation so that he or she can actually become
heterosexual.
The striking clarity and practicality of this book will guide the
compassionate reader who feels intuitively (and biblically) that
homosexuality is wrong but fears being labeled ignorant or
"homophobic." And homosexuals who want to change will find that
specific prayer brings extraordinary results.
Is there hope and help for those who are struggling?
To someone struggling with homosexuality, churches can present a
confusing message. Some insist that a repentant homosexual renounce
all ties to the homosexual lifestyle and live out his or her days
in celibacy. Others believe that since no one chooses to be
homosexual, the only compassionate solution is complete acceptance.
Neither viewpoint takes into account all aspects of the issue. Is
there another option that incorporates not only the traditional
position that homosexual acts are sinful but also the fundamental
reality of every person's need for love and acceptance?
Over the years, Francis MacNutt has seen phenomenal results in the
area of healing for homosexuals. Through prayer, those same-sex
desires can be changed . . . healed. Gays or lesbians actually
become heterosexual. Here Dr. MacNutt shares real-life examples,
compassionate understanding of the issues and practical advice for
anyone seeking freedom from homosexuality, as well as for those
seeking help for gay friends or family.
