although i am sure the authors intentions are good, he states homosexuality is a sin and implies a homosexual can change. This is not the book you want to read first. Prior to our son telling us he was gay, i didn't believe being gay was a sin and i certainly don't now. i was more upset by this book than informed. disgarded after 33 pages. i am not called to change my child but to love him. i knew when i read that a parent's behavior towards a child could lend a part in a person "choosing" (for the majority, it is not a choice- check out the website "fortunate families")homosexuality i knew this was not the book for me.
