Homosexuality...is it learned, biological or both..?

A perennial question which has remained the proverbial bone of contention down through the centuries of debate. Now, the baton of controversy is passed to parents in this contemporary day and age. With the recent news of the American Episcopal Church allowing homosexuals to be ordained as clergy, the theological arena is now aflame with raw intellectual firepower.

As parents, we would want to know how we can best raise our children. Many in our culture would have us believe that sexual orientation is in the crystal ball of the gods, something that is in borne and innate. But as Christians, to adhere to that premise would be an acquiesce to a philosophical presupposition that is devastating to the moral and social fabric of the God-ordained human institution of family.

In this groundbreaking book, clinical psychologist Joseph Nicolosi uncovers that most significant factors that contribute to children's healthy sense of themselves as male or female. Listening to recollections from former homosexuals who describe what was missing in their own childhoods, this book provides clear insight for identifying potential developmental roadblocks and give practical advice to parents for helping their children securely identify with their gender.

What this book offers is hope. Hope for the sake of the future generations.
