Publisher's Synopsis
Homosexuality is one of the most controversial topics among Christians today, and now, more than ever, it is vitally important that many understand its causes and consequences. Who better can we learn from in this debate than one who spent more than 20 years as a lesbian and then was shown that repentance, forgiveness and unconditional love will prove God takes away sin and illustrates there is "No Greater Love than His" when you develop a personal relationship with Him. What can such a journey teach us? Former lesbian, now born again Christian Julie Hoch answers that question and more as she shares her truly inspirational life story. With the help of an understanding, caring Christian acquaintance, who became a devoted friend, along with a compassionate, Bible-based church, Julie found her way toward God and away from her lesbian life. Her book provides personal experiences about that road to repentance and forgiveness as well as honest answers to the questions Christians-and others--need to hear: What caused her to turn to lesbianism? Why didn't she repent sooner? How does one witness to someone who is gay and doesn't know Christ? How does one witness to those who believe they can be both Christian and gay? What steps can each of us take to lead a gay friend or family member to Christ? With inspiring words from the friend who led her toward repentance, Julie Hoch provides guidance and support from her unique perspective for anyone who faces the difficult task of shepherding a friend or loved one away from a homosexual lifestyle and toward God's love. This book provides a deeper understanding of how someone's life can take a drastic turn from a gay lifestyle through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which far outweighs any love from human kind. "Only one path leads to heaven. Homosexuality is not on that path. How will gays know that unless you show them the love of a servant and then the love of Christ?"
