"This gentleman is one of the 'founding fathers' of the Exodus International ministry, and praise God!, came out of the lifestyle himself so he speaks with authority on the subject. He also has a very effective Biblical Counseling practice in Southern California."
"This book targets friends and family. It has a lot of practical advice. Anita Worthen is wife of the founder of New Hope Ministries an outreach that helps gays and lesbians renounce the lifestyle. Bob Davies is affiliated with Exodus International."
"They both know what they are talking about - she is the mother of a gay man, and her husband was once in the lifestyle! Is that a testimonial, or what?" -Rob
"This is an excellent book authored by a man who came out of the lifestyle and who gives an astonishingly accurate presentation of both sides of the issue. He has you hooked right from the introduction with his insight - a must-read."
"This book is written in an interesting narrative style, by a man who came out of the gay lifestyle. It is a compilation of correspondence with a composite of personalities that he calls "Mike", actually letters and conversations with 3 different fellows. He shares his experiences and counsels these men, but it is a compelling look at the inside workings of the issue. Very thought-provoking."
-Rob
"A companion to the previous listing, because as you might have guessed the author is "Mike", one of the men Jeff Konrad led out of the lifestyle. This man is affiliated with both the "Focus on the Family" and "Exodus International" ministries, and has a fabulous testimony." -Rob
"Considered to be one of the premier texts on this issue, and is credited by many to have blazed the trail out of the lifestyle." -Rob

"The subtitle for this book is "A Survival Guide for Parents of Rebellious Children". All too often parents become collateral damage of their children's' rebellion, and this book by an excellent Christian family counselor provides advice for parents to remain intact as their child wanders." -Rob
"This book touches on the meaning of a prodigal, how they got there, and how parents may intercede on their child's behalf." -Rob
"This is an excellent book that can be used as an individual or group study, dealing with the principles for parents to bring their child before the throne of God. At first glance this might seem like a formula for "easy steps to getting your kid right with God" but it is addressed to parents, not the child. Very rewarding." -Rob
"This book is an encouraging volume written for Moms who have prodigal sons." -Rob
