5.0 out of 5 stars An Ounce of Prevention, August 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: An Ounce of Prevention: Preventing the Homosexual Condition in Today's Youth (Paperback)

I found this book to be very helpful. For many years I have sought to verbalize what this author says about homosexuality. I agree with his concept of what homosexuality is. I feel this book is a refreshing look that puts responsiblity on the individual rather than taking no responsibility for who or what the individual is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Obviously contoversial - but well done, September 27, 2002

Tom Steffen (Silverton, Oregon - United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: An Ounce of Prevention: Preventing the Homosexual Condition in Today's Youth (Paperback)

I read this one several years ago. My copy is well marked and I have used it to help teens find answers to their questions... Schmierer gives excellent advice on prevention. Having lived through encounters with an aggressive older man who served time for molesting boys... I can confidently say "I wish more people knew what this book explains."

5.0 out of 5 stars An Ounce of Prevention -- A Great Book!, May 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: An Ounce of Prevention: Preventing the Homosexual Condition in Today's Youth (Paperback)

This is a great book! I'm glad I bought this book and decided for myself (after reading some of the negative reviews) what the underlying causes of homosexuality could be. If you child is confused about his/her gender, this is a "must read." Not only did I gain insight on the probable causes of homosexuality but I felt it also was helpful in pointing out changes that needed to be made in our family life to help my child.
