5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but disturbing!, March 4, 2002

By A Customer

I strongly reccomend to read this book. It is a continuation of father Harveys earlier book:"The homosexual person: new thinking in pastoral care". The immense knowledge and experience contained in these both books are a fruit of many years of father Harvey's ministry among persons with homosexual leanings. These are "THE BOOKS". Short, comprehensive, informative non judgmental. With love without unnecesseary and evil passions or bigotry. A work of a saint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid presentation of Catholic teaching, November 23, 2000

By A Customer

An excellent presentation of orthodox Catholic teaching on homosexuality and suggestions for pastoral outreach. The author is the founder of Courage, an organization for homosexuals who accept the challenge to live according to Gospel values.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, December 18, 2000

By	J. Green (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fr. Harvey gives a carefully written, sensitve, and thought-provoking look at the issue of homosexuality. I have found this book to be an excellent resource in thinking through the truths and lies of the current "cultural war". A good resource for anyone interested in this issue.
