What a relief to find a writer who brings psychological needs under the power of the cross of Christ. This is a book full of hope for the homosexual, but with far wider implications for all of us. A book about redemption.--Elisabeth Elliot.

Guilt! Guilt! Guilt! And More Guilt!:
This is one of the most poorly written books I have read in recent times. From its tortured grammer to its flawed psychology, all it peddles is guilt and self loathing despite anything the author may say to the contrary. Sexual drive, fantasies and masterbation (yes, Mrs Payne, even after puberty!) are normal biological responses. Many people have fantasies about homosexual sex, but never act them out, and have no real desire to act them out. This is not something to thrash oneself over, even as a... more info
PRACTICAL Help on how to invite the POWER of God to HEAL:
Book about inviting Jesus to do it and to show you what your real need is (i.e. comfort, love, security, a hug, to be held, to be affirmed, etc.) and learning how to "hear" what He is saying and see what He is doing.

But you know what?- Jesus is... more info
Good Integration of Theology and Theory:
Leanne Payne's book brings together the classical views of both orthodox theology believed through the centuries about sexuality and the Healing Power of Christ (see writings of Patristic Fathers such as Irenaeus, St. Basil, Gregory of Nyssa and Gregory Nazianzus) as well as psychoanalytic theory predominantly accepted before the removal of Homosexuality from the DSM III (and still developed by practioners today such as Nicolosi and Socarides, among others). Those who are of the more recent Gay Affirmative... more info
Great for Homosexual who tries so hard to follow JesusChrist:
I was a lesbian (homosexual) but got saved through the salvations of Jesus Christ. This book will teach you how to (lead people or yourself) pray and bring the great inner-soul healing and peace for any hardship and hurt that once were hidden so deep in the soul in the past and no one can retrieve it, not even psychologists. Great book, touches my heart and my soul, and help me to get out the homosexuality with a full peaceful heart and totally renewal life.
