Download or read book Inner Views on Sexuality Politics and Religion written by Tina Peters and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I first began my efforts to spread this message of hope and deliverance to the gay community through my 2008 publishing of The Barbed Wire Fence. While remaining strong in my faith as a devout Christian, I am still a Georgia resident. INNER-VIEWS contains individual input from gays and lesbians, selected at random, concerning their views on sexuality politics and religion; as such subjects pertain to their own lives and their own personal experiences. It is not intended to be any manner of a study.....One would need far more than the amount of interviews I have included within these pages in order to do such a study, for any reason. This is ministry to homosexuals who might be seeking freedom from the behavior, or anyone struggling with any manner of addiction which perplexes them in their own unaided efforts to find freedom. Well over fifteen years ago, I felt spiritually inspired to devise a manner of ministering to gays and lesbians that would hopefully be a useful source of hope and inspiration to those seeking relative ministerial input. And so, with pen in hand, I scrutinized my own recovery process, which I was still undergoing, in order to compile what I believed were pertinent questions. These questions would hopefully serve to enlighten an individual on just how, when and where their own homosexual inclinations came to be and whether or not seeking to overcome those inclinations would be an undertaking they'd care to take. According to scripture, God knew me long before I came into existence. He knew the struggles I would have and my shortcomings. God knew me. To this extent, alone, I am qualified to provide the input read within these pages. I sincerely hope it's enjoyed and simply appreciated for what it is.
