Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son’s Journey to God. A Broken Mother’s Search for Hope
Author(s): Christopher Yuan & Angela Yuan
Publisher: Waterbrook Press
Price: $3.99 DEAL EXPIRED
Over 100,000 copies sold!
Coming Out, Then Coming Home
Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead, she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control—and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her.
Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God’s desire for all families. Their amazing story, told from the perspectives of both mother and son, offers hope for anyone affected by homosexuality.
God calls all who are lost to come home to him. Casting a compelling vision for holy sexuality, Out of a Far Country speaks to prodigals, parents of prodigals, and those wanting to minister to the gay community.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” – Luke 15:20
Includes a discussion guide for personal reflection and group use.
A War of Loves: The Unexpected Story of a Gay Activist Discovering Jesus
Author(s): David Bennett
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $2.99 (Ends June 30)
At 14, David Bennett came out to his parents.
At 19, he encountered Jesus Christ.
At that moment, his life changed forever.
As a young gay man, David Bennett saw Christianity as an enemy to freedom for LGBTQI people, and his early experiences with prejudice and homophobia led him to become a gay activist. But when Jesus came into his life in a highly unexpected way, he was led down a path he never would have predicted or imagined.
In A War of Loves, David recounts his dramatic story, from his early years exploring new age religions and French existentialism to his university experiences as an activist. Following supernatural encounters with God, he embarked on a journey not only of seeking to reconcile his faith and sexuality but also of discovering the higher call of Jesus Christ.
A War of Loves investigates what the Bible teaches about sexuality and demonstrates the profligate, unqualified grace of God for all people. David describes the joy and intimacy he found in following Jesus Christ and how love has taken on a radically new and far richer meaning for him.

Winner of four book awards in the last 6 months. Now on sale at Amazon! Faced with the task of raising a daughter as a single parent after the death of a spouse, this unforgettable memoir tackles an impossible question: how do you teach the critical life skills of trust, love, forgiveness, humility, mercy, unselfishness, and grace to your child when you never learned them for yourself in a normal family setting?
If there is one lesson we can learn from this remarkable memoir, it’s the importance of faith. Using God, the only father she ever knew, as a plumb line, we walk with the author (often with great humor) as she journeys through “bent pages” of her story while teaching her child the skills of life even when she did not fully understand them herself. We are captivated as her daughter falls in love with God, the father who is introduced to her. And with God’s grace, and through the eyes of her trusting child, the author ultimately learns these very life skills for herself. This compelling and uplifting narrative is a story of resilience and self-discovery that is profoundly moving.

Could your ten earliest memories make you who you are? Well that’s what a psychiatrist friend once told me. He also said that by recalling the most important decisions you have made in your life that these will have a bearing on future decisions to change the course of your life for the better. I decided to examine those very memories and decisions for myself in Bent Pages.
From the time I was a child, one of my habits that drove others in my family crazy was to bend the corner of a page down on a book I was reading if it contained information I wanted to remember and look back on. It was easy to tell which books I had read and had been inspired by…there would be many bent corners. This book is a snapshot of the bent corners of pages in my life that have inspired and taught me. They are moments I never want to forget, even if painful. They have made me who I am. And I would not change that for the world!
