Book Overview
When Jeanette became a Christian she hoped that - over time, as others have experienced - she would find her sexual orientation changed sufficiently to consider marriage and possibly even children. It was not to be. God had something different, but not less valuable and fulfilling, in mind. "Living in a conversely hopeful/hopeless land of possible change had left me exhausted, powerless and well short of the promised abundant life. In accepting that my attractions, if fostered, would lead to a reoccurrence of lesbian behaviour proved beneficial. An unseen, and largely unknown, barrier between Jesus and me was demolished. Relating to him from the position of who I am, and not from who I would like to be, released a greater intimacy..." So, what is the 'promised land'? What is our reward for faithful, chaste commitment? Is it all worth it? Put simply, it is resting in God's perfect plan for our life. The wilderness years are the years of re-creation in the image of Christ. The wilderness teaches us strength and security and to discover joy in unexpected places. The wilderness provides us with the courage to discover the land - our transformed mind, body and soul.

Refuting Zoopax
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Fairly clear that Zoopax has not read this book! The author does not, at any time, state that you are only gay if you're sexually active. Nor does she suggest, for a moment, that you can only be in God's grace by "completely denying your sexuality altogether". Perhaps Zoopax should READ books before reviewing them! I found the book extremely helpful, sensible and transparent. I think it takes a huge amount of honesty and willingness to submit to God's higher authority to take this stuff on board, but I believe Light and release will come if one is willing. Willingness is the key to growth in any spiritual truth.
The Review Preceding Mine Is Factually Inaccurate
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Let me start off by stating that I have not read this book. The purpose of my review is purely to rebut the false claims made in the review preceding mine. Please note that the author is not just a "former" lesbian hiding behind a facade of celibacy, but a happily married wife with a husband and children of her own. She knows what heterosexual love and lovemaking is, so don't let the aforementioned factual errors dissuade you from considering buying this book.
