Helping LDS Men Resolve their Homosexual Problems: A Guide for Family, Friends, and Church Leaders

By Jason Park

Help for Those who Struggle with Unwanted Homosexual Problems#13; #13; This book presents an understanding of male homosexuality in the context of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is written to the family, friends, and priesthood leaders of Latter-day Saint (Mormon) men who want to resolve their homosexual attractions.#13; #13; This book urges love and sensitivity toward those who struggle with difficult homosexual problems. It is written as a companion to Resolving Homosexual Problems: A Guide for LDS Men, which gives suggestions to men on resolving their problems.#13; #13; A man's journey out of homosexuality will be easier if he has the support of his friends and family, and this book can give you ideas on supporting someone you love.#13; #13; The process described is not one of suppressing homosexual feelings and controlling behavior through willpower. The goal is to resolve the inner conflicts that created the homosexual attractions. Although homosexual behavior can be stopped in the short term by exercising willpower, the unmet emotional and social needs won't go away until they are fulfilled in nonsexual ways. As men resolve the underlying causes, the unwanted impulses will diminish or disappear.#13; #13; The book focuses on understanding and resolving the inner conflicts that underlie the homosexual struggle. The homosexual impulse will not disappear until the legitimate emotional needs are met. Meeting these legitimate emotional needs is the key to the healing process.

Wonderful book

This book gives a great overview of the issue of homosexuality from a gospel perspective. It explains what homosexuality is, why people experience same-sex attractions, and what someone can do about them if they want to oversome them. It gives practical suggestions on how to support someone who is trying to diminish their attractions and live the gospel. It encourages compasion and sensitivity to the struggles.

Great book!

The principles taught in this book really changed my life. I was unhappy with my homosexual feelings, and this book helped me understand them and resolve the underlying problems that created my homosexual problems. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to be gay.
