At four different times while she was growing up, men had sexually abused Darlene. Subsequently, she struggled with lesbianism for seventeen years. The story of how God delivered her offers hope to people who are desperately seeking to break the powerful grip of a gay lifestyle and find faithful love.
For Colin, homossexual fantasies were at first a compulsion, the a pleasant diversion, and finally something he did not want - all because Christ had broken his false need for them. Finally, Colin said good-bye to his fantasy world and began to fully enjoy the reality of his Christian marriage.
An evangelistic ministry to homossexuals? You've got to be kidding, Bob thought. Lord, I'll do anything but that! But Bob had no idea that thousands had been preying for people like him to step out and serve in the ex-gay ministry. God broke his resistance and answered the countless cries for help.
God is using Darlene, Colin, and Bob - all contributors to this book - to heal the broken lives of gay people. Their stories, along with the professional insights of other Christians, are included in this book to inspire Christians to reach out to those experiencig the crisis of homossexuality.
