"This is a long-overdue, practical, one-of-a-kind resource on a critical topic of which every Christian counselor needs to be aware. Rather than an impractical one-size-fits-all approach, this unique book provides a breadth and depth of proven pathways to healing and hope from eight clinical professionals. Reading this book will enhance your clinical understanding and give you the resources to increase your effectiveness in serving this unique population. This book is a clinical gold mine that needs to be in every therapist's library." --Gary J. Oliver, Ph.D., Executive Director, Center for Relationship Enrichment; Professor of Psychology and Practical Theology, John Brown University "Finally, a strong clinical ally has been found for the thousands of women and men whose sexual attractions are at odds with their worldview. In twenty plus years of working with such people, I've never seen a resource as comprehensive, user-friendly, clinically viable and realistic as this. Professionals, lay counselors and pastors need look no further than this book for state of the art treatment approaches, assessment skills and guidance. Thank God for this much needed contribution." --Joe Dallas, Author of Desires in Conflict and co-author of The Complete Christian Guide to Understanding Homosexuality "This book is a 'must read' for anyone wanting to consider this issue in a careful and reasoned manner." --Walter Schumm, Ph.D., Professor of Family Studies, Kansas State University; Author of over 200 scholarly publications. "The Handbook of Therapy for Unwanted Homosexual Attractions is an important tool for any counselor, pastor or individual helping those dealing with the uniquely challenging subject of same-sex attraction. As someone who personally struggled with and overcame homosexuality, I am confident that this resource will help others live a life that reflects their deepest beliefs." --Alan Chambers, President of Exodus International, www.exodusinternational.org
