Out of a Far Country

This book is about a gay son's journey to God and his mother's search for hope. It is a true story about the struggles of this family, the depths it took them to, and how God met them at the bottom of their pit.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the gay lifestyle and how the family copes when confronted with this issue. I so appreciated the honesty from both the mother and son and the chapters designated which one was telling their viewpoint and what they were going through at the same time as the other family member.

I believe this is a book of encouragment in reading how God answered the effective faithful prayers of righteous people. It has definitely encouraged me to follow their example(s). It has also opened my mind in realizing that God hates the sin but loves the sinner. Whether you agree with the results of this book or not, one must realize that God is the ultimate judge and not ourselves. And that is indeed a praisworthy statement.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review
