Product Description
Synopsis
What some of you were explores cultural, medical and Biblical Issues relating to homosexuality. There is also a discussion guide for small groups. Despite what the secular media and the gay community say, there are many Christians who do not wish to embrace a gay identity. These are people who, because of their commitment to Jesus Christ and their belief in the Bible, choose not to act upon their same-sex attraction. This book contains stories of people who have made that choice. They wish to share their struggles, and the way in which God has brought about change in their lives. Their hope is that these stories will serve to: - bring encouragement and hope to those who are also struggling with unwanted feelings of same-sex attraction; - educate, inform and encourage the wider Christian community about how to respond to homosexuality, and in particular how to help those in our midst who are struggling. What some of you were also contains four useful appendices exploring cultural, medical and Biblical issues relating to homosexuality. There is also a discussion guide for small groups.

A disgusting book portraying homosexuality as immoral and wrong! Absolutely vile! People writing stuff like this remind of the NAZI'S trying to control us an brain wash us with religion. I would not recommend this book at all. It has gone straight on to my fire place after the first chapter.
Shares how some have found help, hope support and choice in dealing with unwanted same-sex attraction!

This is a brilliant book for anyone who as result of their Christian (or other) beliefs doesn't want to embrace a gay lifestyle and wants to experience relief (either sometime or permanent) from bondage to same-sex attraction. Actually, I think all Christians should read this book!
About twelve years ago, after discovering that two male friends of mine were gay and unhappily so, I embarked on a quest to understand same-sex attraction better. I wanted to understand it's causes (if any) and comforts, starting from a biblical point of view and to understand what can or cannot be done if a person chooses not to embrace a homosexual identity. This book is one of about ten books I have read on this subject. What is amazing about this book for me is, that it is divided up into biographical style chapters in which each chapter gives you a particular person's story of how and when they realised they were gay, how they came out (if they ever did) and what the reactions of friends and family and the public at large, were towards them and their orientation. Not surprisingly, too often these stories start off very sadly, as you see in almost every case terrible loneliness and confusion on behalf of the person sharing their story and dreadful misunderstanding and insensitivity on behalf of those heterosexual people involved. The brilliant thing is, that these stories don't stay sad, but go on to show that with the right support (mainly help initiated through the Australian based 'Liberty Christian Ministries Inc') and an understanding of the bible's true perspective on homosexuality, many people struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction(USSA) can experience gradual, steady healing from bondage to USSA in Christ.
I have read this book over and over again. If you are struggling with USSA I can't urge you to read this book enough. It will be a tonic for your soul. If for no other reason, you should read this, to see for yourself that you are not alone and how the people sharing their testamonies have experienced acceptance, kindness, understanding and love from others who are committed to making the journey of blessing and healing from bondage to USSA with them. This book also offers a lot of support for the spouses, partners and family of those who are struggling with USSA and advice on how to help mutually heal and support them. I feel I can't really convey well enough how excellent this book is. This book is an oasis to the thirsty - Please read it!

I have learnt a lot from this book, which gives a valuable insight into same sex attraction and christianity. Some powerful real-life stories about people who strive to honour God through their struggle.
