Into the Promised Land: Beyond the Lesbian Struggle

by Jeanette Howard

Book Overview

It's one thing to say homosexuality is wrong, but it is far more difficult to leave it behind. In this sequel to Out of Egypt, Jeanette Howard describes her struggle to live out her decision--despite the relentless pressures of friends and culture. Each successful step into God's "promised land" comes at the cost of daily battles with enemies of the soul she knows all too well.

Refuting Zoopax

Fairly clear that Zoopax has not read this book! The author does not, at any time, state that you are only gay if you're sexually active. Nor does she suggest, for a moment, that you can only be in God's grace by "completely denying your sexuality altogether". Perhaps Zoopax should READ books before reviewing them! I found the book extremely helpful, sensible and transparent. I think it takes a huge amount of honesty and willingness to submit to God's higher authority to take this stuff on board, but I believe Light and release will come if one is willing. Willingness is the key to growth in any spiritual truth.

The Review Preceding Mine Is Factually Inaccurate

Let me start off by stating that I have not read this book. The purpose of my review is purely to rebut the false claims made in the review preceding mine. Please note that the author is not just a "former" lesbian hiding behind a facade of celibacy, but a happily married wife with a husband and children of her own. She knows what heterosexual love and lovemaking is, so don't let the aforementioned factual errors dissuade you from considering buying this book.
