This book is intended for both the parent newly acquainted with a child''s gay sexuality, and those parents who are still struggling to make sense out of it. It''s meant to be a reassuring book from a pastor who has been involved with these parents and issues over a lifetime. Why reassuring? Because, as you will discover in these pages, there is nothing wrong with your child that is related to sexual orientation. Yes, there will be challenges and obstacles to overcome such as declining societal rejection, potential bullying, reorientation of true friendships and family relationships, job and other overt forms of discrimination, and the like. But these all can be met without any lasting harm to the parties involved. This book will help you sort out your feelings and provide you with up to date information that will help you navigate the uncharted course. Many others have successfully navigated these waters before you and we will be drawing on their successes.

For many today the issue of homosexuality is easily and clearly settled in scripture. The issue, for them, is one of scriptural authority. One either obeys the command found in scripture or one does not.Yet for others, the scriptural commands are not nearly as clear as claimed, and the issue is not obedience, but rather interpretation. It is not whether one will obey God''s will, once known, but determining if, in fact, traditional interpreters have discovered God''s will.Joe Miller, Jr., a retired pastor with a deep concern from LGBT persons in his community and church, tackles this subject by examining not just the scriptures, but also the people who interpret them and the theology and science they use to do so. He believes that a scriptural case can be made for the full acceptance of LGBT, and that to truly follow Jesus and care for "the least of these" demands nothing less.
