Book Description

November 5, 2002
Drawing on images of both life as a poor black youth and adult life as a gay black male, Touching A Dead Man stuns readers with it's raw --and rare-- look at life at it's best and worst. The book paints moving vivid pictures of a struggle too strong to survive, yet shows the reader how the power of Christ works to transform damaged humanity.

Touching A Dead Man touches a nerve with the black church and it's shaky dance with homosexuality in an explosive narrative of truth and challenge drawn from the Biblical story of a dead man, Lazarus.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unadulterated homophobia, November 15, 2010
This review is from: Touching A Dead Man: One man's Explosive Story of Deliverance from Homosexuality (Paperback)
When he's not consorting with the leaders of Southern Poverty Law Center defined hate groups (like Peter LaBarbera of the preposterously named Americans for Truth about Homosexuality), the author is attacking people who are born gay and who choose a Christian lifestyle with his hate filled, fundamentalist point of view. Foster founded and runs an organization attacking gay Christians called Gay Christian Movement Watch ([...]).

This review is from: Touching A Dead Man: One man's Explosive Story of Deliverance from Homosexuality (Paperback)
I haven't read the book yet. But I know Pastor foster personally, we work together in ministry. He has a nack for writing and I know that anyone who wants to know about freedom from unwanted same sex attraction can and WILL be blessed by this book. There are very few books out there that really just touch on this topic in such away that is eye opening and non sugarcoated. Pastor Foster is a awesome man of God whose lifes passion is the help see the captives set free. Please get this book from his site. www.witnessfortheworld.org you will be richly blessed!
