OUT - One Christian's Experience of Leaving the Gay Community

Bob Fife was raised in a small Ontario town by a Christian mother and an unbelieving father. The tensions made for a dysfunctional home and an uneasy life. But the book that Fife writes as a parent of an abandoned adult child is probably not the book that advocates or adversaries --and there will be many on both sides of this debate--might expect.  His book is more memoir than expose' and more plain talk than advocacy or bible thumping repentance.  Fife speaks from the perspective of a mentor-which he now is, more about that later.  
He talks plainly about being molested by a teen he cared for and trusted as a child to being married and having children and even to abandoning his family to pursue his lifestyle.  But in this book are no "poor me" or even "terrible me" testimonies so much as "i am who i am" and  "i did what i did" rembrances.  
Fife recalls intimate conversations at the beginning of his explorations with homosexuality as well as confrontations with the people who thought they knew him and whom he thought he knew.  The book, though small, only about 200 5x7 pages, is like being a fly on the wall for much of Fife's unedited life as as a married, but out and gay man who still has not found himself.  
The book, which was provided free of charge for an objective review is worth the cost for anyone who has questions about "how homosexuality can happen to someone raised in a (mostly) Christian home and how a married man can be openly homosexual.  Of course it won't answer all questions because this is one man's account of his own experiences and is not a peer-reviewed scholarly article on homosexuality.  Think of it as one witness account of what happened to and through his life and how he responded to it.
The book jacket states it best: "For those seeking to deal with their same-sex attractions, not celebrate them, Bob's fascinating story points a way to grace and redemption."
