Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was drawn to men sexually. A few episodes of adolescent experimentation confirmed his decision to enter the gay lifestyle. Meanwhile, his parents struggled with how to react to his choices in light of their more conventional worldview. Christopher became a highly successful drug dealer, which led to his arrest and a prison term. He became a Christian while behind bars, and when he was released he sought a way to consistently follow the scriptures as a gay man. Angela, his mother, also became a Christian and learned how to love her son even when he rejected his family and its values. The solutions that the authors discovered will surprise readers who most often hear only the extreme arguments on both sides of this issue. 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.
