the Book The Herald Sun's review of Beyond Gay The Perth Record's review of Beyond Gay The Caroline Chisholm Library Newsletter's review of Beyond Gay Regeneration Newsletter's review of Beyond Gay National Catholic Register's review of Beyond Gay The Tidings' review of Beyond Gay "Through an
honest examination of fact and an openness to God's love, Beyond Gay is
the story of one man's struggle to move from what was for him a life of
darkness and sorrow to a life of light and happiness in Truth. Mr. Morrison's
account will serve both the Church and those for whom it is written well." "David Morrison-as
his writing vividly shows-is no stranger to the pain, doubt, self-destructive
behavior, and alienation that mark so many of the men and women who struggle
with homosexuality in their daily lives. This is the story of his journey
from an active gay subculture to new life in Jesus Christ. This is his
diary of discovering the Catholic Faith. It's a real, flesh-and-blood
conversion story, the kind with restless echoes of Augustine; the kind
that will stay in the memory a long time. But a word of caution: Anyone
looking for a casual spiritual boost, or a quick read for his or her spare
time, would do well to close this book now. Compelling, it is. Moving,
it is. Comfortable, it is not." "In the growing
and increasingly sophisticated literature on Christianity and same-sex
attraction, this book stands out. With candor, caring, and the wisdom
born of personal experience, David Morrison offers a compelling invitation
to live in the authentic freedom of moral truth. Beyond Gay should be
eagerly welcomed by those struggling with conflicted desires, by their
families, and by all who try to help them." "A powerful
statement of a man who has walked a difficult way following the Gospel.
Many who have never considered the possibility of chastity as the appropriate
and Gospel-oriented answer of their lives should read this book, regardless
of their sexual orientation." Purchase Beyond Gay online from Our Sunday Visitor. |
