"Author
David Prosen speaks generously and with wisdom out of his own
experience of same-sex attractions: without love, all the rules and
commandments in the world fall flat. It is not for us to fix or
change the person with same-sex attractions; our place is simply to
love them. Just like anyone else, people with same-sex attractions
first need to hear that their heavenly Father cares for them. Prosen
reminds us of the power of affirming love in our own experience. When
someone takes the time to just be with us and tells us the truth in a
compassionate way, we are more likely to receive it. Each of us,
then, as spiritual mothers and fathers, may be a vehicle for Christ's
affirming love shining in the loneliness of same-sex attractions."
- Suzanne Baars, PhD, Catholic psychotherapist and founder of the
Baars Institute
"David
Prosen has written a powerful booklet that I wish every Catholic
adult would read. With incredible authenticity and transparency, he
takes the reader into the interior reality - so often marked by
wounds and pain - of those who experience same-sex attraction. Yet he
also points the way to hope and healing in Christ, and the ways the
Body of Christ can be a source of healing. This book will change the
way you see the world." - Dr. John Bergsma, PhD, Catholic Bible
scholar, author, speaker
"With
compassion and honesty, David Prosen reveals an empowering vision for
sharing the liberating love of Jesus Christ with men and women
trapped in the culture's false messaging and still longing for
authentic love." - Lisa Mladinich, host of Shalom World TV's
WOMAN: Strong Faith, True Beauty
