Leaving Homosexuality
A Practical Guide for Men and Women Looking for a Way Out
A new book, released by Harvest House Publishers, offers practical advice and honest information on the process of leaving a gay life to pursue one that reflects the Christian faith. Alan Chambers, President of Exodus International, the world’s largest ministry to those personally dealing with unwanted same-sex attraction, has written his second book Leaving Homosexuality: A Practical Guide for Men and Women Looking for a Way Out.

Men and women of all ages who struggle with same–sex attraction will find Leaving Homosexualityindispensable in their own walk of faith…and an excellent resource to give to those who haven’t yet heard that there is a new life of freedom beyond homosexuality available to them.

Homosexuality 101 is an educational DVD which provides this much needed information, including a description of the factors that contribute to the development of homosexuality in the life of a child, testimonies by two former homosexuals, a testimony from a parent of a homosexual, and a discussion on how Christians should respond to this issue.
