About the Author
In our
complicated world, parents, young people and youth leaders
frequently face the subject of homosexuality. And for most
people there are far more questions than answers. Author and
seasoned counselor Don Schmierer provides a balanced
perspective of this complex issue, discussing its various physical,
emotional and spiritual aspects with wisdom and compassion.
An Ounce of Prevention
provides practical and carefully researched responses to such
questions as:
| Are some people born
gay? How well
have Christians responded to gender confusion? What does the
Bible say about homosexuality?
What role should
families, friends, and churches play?
Can homosexuality be
prevented? |

Schmierer writes, "Our primary purpose is to reach out loving hands
toward those who are hurting. We
also hope to increase the understanding of those who care about a
specific young person or group of young
people, those who care about healing broken hearts, and those who
hope to find their own answers to some of
life's toughest questions."
