Our Gay Son

About the Book

Our Gay Son is a moving account of the struggle of a Christian father to uncover the truth about homosexuality following the discovery that his younger son was gay. This son, along with all other gay people, was accused and condemned in the courts of most branches of Christianity, without a fair trial. David Robert-John begins his quest by first seeking healing for his stricken son. As events unfold, however, his journey takes unexpected turns and the validity of the case against gay people is called into question along with the legitimacy of his own beliefs. David’s wife and son then add their own revealing insights. This will be a rewarding reading experience for anyone who is struggling (or who has ever struggled) to come to terms with having a “different” sexuality, and it can be read with equal profit by those most closely associated with them, particularly parents.
