5.0 out of 5 stars More than the Title implies:, August 19, 2006

This review is from: Homosexuality: Good and Right in the Eyes of God? (Paperback)

I found in reading this very expansive and well documented book, that I was very naive with regard to this whole topic. Dr. Fox gives a through study on the topic of not only homosexuality, but the larger issue of Pansexuality, which includes all the other perversions known to mankind. He looks at the broader spectrum of our nation and what has and is happening in the USA with regard to not only morality, but the whole educational system. He also tell of the difficulty in trying to minister to the homosexual lifestyle and how it is almost a catch 22 situation. He investigates the cultural, Biblical, medical, and psychological evidence for and against a pansexual lifestyle. Personally, having been involved in the Healing Ministry for over 35 years, at the end of reading this book, I ask myself three questions: 1. Is God in favor of disease and suffering? 2. Is God in favor of promoting death, and the spread of death? 3. Is God in favor of this lifestyle? It is a book that takes a few days to "get over". Some parts are very graphic, and certainly Adult in content, but he does not fudge around the facts. It is an eye opener!

5.0 out of 5 stars Homosexuality: Good & Right in the eyes of God?, March 11, 2003

This review is from: Homosexuality: Good and Right in the Eyes of God? (Paperback)

Don't read this book if you:
1. Expect it to be all about homosexuality.
2. Expect an "easy read" to reinforce your position.

Do read it if you:
1. Are willing to seek the truth.
2. Are willing to be challenged.
3. Would enjoy a comprehensive review of the Faith and the evolving of our societal problems.
4. Are looking for an extensive resource guide.

The authors have done a masterful job of presenting a history and analysis of our present situation in such a manner that anyone with a bit of discipline and average intelligence can not only follow, but gain significant insights.

The book is an excellent review of the faith, and supplies practical guidelines and tactics for engaging in defense of Kingdom positions. There are helps for review and discussion of the material, which makes it a natural as a group study.

Pick up a copy if you are not of the faint hearted genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars The importance to America of the Christian worldview, November 15, 2003

By 

Avid Reader - See all my reviews

This review is from: Homosexuality: Good and Right in the Eyes of God? (Paperback)

This book is about much more than the title suggests. It is an illuminating, fascinating read, filled with the everyday commonsense truths that one may not even realize are connected to the Christian world view. Ultimately, its a book about the importance of America to the world as a nation founded on and governed by Judeo-Christian principles, including the redress of our wrongs. He shows how we started to depart from the Christian world view during the beginning of the sexual revolution and how we got to the point that we are now experiencing repression of Christian belief, and the suppression of our basic rights to free expression.

As one who was born after WWII, I grew up with some ideas about Jesus and Christianity, but with no comprehensive understanding of what it all means, how it really impacted on the founding of America, and how it really is the basis of a civilized and good society, striving always for truth and justice. This book eludidates the practical aspects of our Christian underpinnings that we will lose at our peril. It also describes rationally how families reflect God's creation and the importance of healthy sexuality in a way that is accessible even to kindergartners, at its most basic level, yet is still interesting and illuminating to teens, adults and parents.

Never having bought into the sexual revolution, it is perhaps easier for me to recognize the truth and reasonableness of this book, but I think it is accessible to all who are willing to read it with an open mind. As I've also happened to meet Earle Fox, one of the authors, I can attest that he is very much the sort of authentic Christian that makes one believe it's possible; a man who overcame struggles of his own through his own efforts to understand and practice his Christian faith, and a man who really does help to make the world a better place, in his quiet, gentle, kind, effective way. He has taught himself to be a truly loving person.

For example, as a Pastoral Counselor, he has long helped the marginalized, including troubled kids. As a founder of a ministry to help people seeking their way out of the homosexual lifestyle, he has also been effective. No ivory tower academic or Sunday Christian, he has actually been in the trenches.

He is also the same Earle Fox who made news by being asked to "spare the details" of unhealthy sexual practices at the consecration of the Rev.Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire, creating a sensation barely described in the press among the assembled clergy and spectators.

This book is wonderfully comprehensive and explanatory with respect to the Christian faith, with much comparison between Christianity and Paganism on discerning and holding to the truth. It shows how Christianity gave the foundation for science and American jurisprudence by illuminating how God's truth, expounded through Jesus, leads us to living truths and feedom as opposed to the Pagan world view, which eventually leads to Totalitarianism and human destruction of the sort seen in the 20th Century.

It covers so much more as well in a fashion that keeps on eliciting the internal response that one is being made privy to something one already knows, somehow, but which is hard to articulate.

It is a book that could be a best seller because it really should be, and could be, read by all Americans.
