Resolving Homosexual Problems: A Guide for LDS Men

By Jason Park

Help for Those who Struggle with Unwanted Homosexual Problems#13; #13; This book is written to Latter-day Saint (Mormon) men who want to learn to resolve their homosexual feelings and follow Christ. If you are confused by the notion that homosexuality is inborn and unchangeable and don't know what to do about your unwanted feelings, this book is for you.#13; #13; This book presents an understanding of homosexuality in the gospel context and provides practical solutions to resolve the personal problems you face. There is hope. I know there are solutions because I have experienced them in my own life.#13; #13; The process described in this book is not one of suppressing the feelings and controlling the behavior through willpower. The goal is to resolve the inner conflicts that created the homosexual attractions. Although you can stop homosexual behavior in the short term by exercising willpower, the unmet emotional and social needs won't go away until you fulfill them in nonsexual ways. As you resolve the underlying causes, the unwanted impulses will diminish or disappear.#13; #13; Since your journey out of homosexuality will be easier if you have the support of friends and family, encourage them to read Helping LDS Men Resolve their Homosexual Problems: A Guide for Family, Friends, and Church Leaders, which can help them understand what you are working through and how they can support you in the process.#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.

Very helpful book

This book is written to men who are unhappy with their same-sex attractions and want to find ways to diminish them and live gospel-centered lives. It gives a comprehensive overview of homosexual issues, thoroughly researched and backed by scientific and first-hand evidence. Most of the book is a self-help approach to understanding the issues and making personal decisions about how to respond to them. Gives suggestions on how one may diminish same-gender attractions and live gospel principles.

This book is amazing!

For those of us (gay LDS men) who want to change, this book is a Godsend. I can't tell you the insight this has given me into my own spiritual struggle and yearning for answersd to some serious questions I had. If you can't find the help you need from those at church, this book is a terrific alternative. The auther helps the reader with quotes from the scriptures and several of the general authorities. His suggestions and inspirational thoughts help to make sense of a sometimes crazy sometimes confusing situation. The book is NOT about trying to get you to change who you are, or how you feel, he just helps to open doors to other possibilities, should you be willing to check them out.

Great book!

This book changed my life! I was unhappy with my homosexual feelings and wanted to live the gospel. This book helped me understand what my underlying problems were and solve them. It is based on true principles. The author quotes numerous scientific studies to back up his writing, and he's a personal witness that homosexuality can be overcome--because he did it himself! He has worked with hundreds of men with the organization Evergreen International and gives statistics on the number of people to overcome homosexuality. I've seen tremendous progress in myself as well! If you don't want to be gay, you don't have to be!
