Out Of A Far Country by Christopher Yuan & Angela Yuan makes you really think. It is the true story, told by both mother and son, of Christopher's journey from a destructive life of homosexuality and drugs to his redemption and life now as a follower of Christ. It is raw and sometimes extremely painful to read (no holds barred). It also highlights Angela's journey toward following Christ and learning to let go as a mother and trust that God is in control, even of her family. By the end of the book, both mother and son are extremely different people. This book offers a lot of hope for those struggling with homosexuality or those wanting to minister to the gay community.
Included in the back of the book is a discussion guide for personal reflection and group use. I personally did not go through this study.
