An Ounce of Prevention
Preventing the homosexual
condition in today's youth
"How do I know if I'm gay?"
"My friend says she's gay. What should I do?"
A video at my school said that being gay is normal for some people. Is it?"
In our complicated world, parents, young people, and youth leaders frequently face the subject of homosexuality. And for most people there are far more questions than answers. Author and seasoned counselor Don Schmierer provides a balanced perspective of this complex issue, discussing its various physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects with wisdom and compassion. An Ounce of Prevention provides practical and care fully researched responses to such questions as:
- Are some people born gay?
- How well have Christians responded to gender confusion?
- What does the Bible say about homosexuality?
- What role should families, friends, and churches play?
- Can homosexuality be prevented?
Author Schmierer writes, "Our
primary purpose is to reach out loving hands toward those who are hurting. We
also hope to increase the understanding of those who care about a specific
young person or group of young people, those who care about healing broken
hearts, and those who hope to find their own answers to some life's toughest
questions."
"I wish we could put this
book into the hands of everyone who works with youth. Don Scmierer has given us
a compassionate, educational, and very hopeful book on a subject that is
troubling millions of young people today."
