Never has a book carried such clarity and precision in outlining the meanings and causes of same-sex attraction and the process of healing. Born out of Richard Cohen's personal journey from gay to straight, Coming Out Straight also includes a comprehensive treatment plan for the healing of homosexuality.
Everyone knows someone with a homosexual orientation- a neighbor,
co-worker, relative, or friend. Coming Out Straight sheds light on a
long misunderstood subject. Questions such as what causes same-sex
attractions and how one can transition from gay to straight are
addressed. Illustrated by those who successfully transitioned, this
book is engrossing, illuminating and for many, an answer to their
prayers.Here's what others are saying about Coming Out Straight:

Cohen's
second book breaks ground on yet another often complex issue. Gay
Children, Straight Parents: A Plan for Family Healing sets out an
effective 12-stage plan for renewed family relationships. Gay Children,
Straight Parents is the result of Richard Cohen's journey out of
homosexuality and the twenty years of clinical experience that
followed. "This book represents years of counseling hundreds of
families and friends, teaching them how to help their loved ones heal
and fulfill their heterosexual potential." Cohen explains. Here's what others are saying about Gay Children, Straight Parents:
"I enthusiastically recommend Gay Children, Straight Parents as a must-read for every parent facing the difficult discovery of their child's homosexuality. Richard's compassionate approach relieves the stigma and shame often associated with a loved-one's homosexual struggle. Whether a parent has just found out or is years into their journey with their gay son or daughter, they will glean understanding, support, guidance and encouragement in their ongoing efforts to love their child well."

"This
book helped us go from shock and disbelief to an understanding of what
happened to our son who experiences same-sex attractions. It showed us
how to develop an action plan to help heal the wounds of his heart.
This sensitive, intelligent man is now, with his dad's love and
encouragement, learning to take the necessary steps into manhood. The
personal stories of change throughout the book gave us real hope. We
feel confident about our son's future."
-Bob & Sue
"Words cannot express the gratitude that we feel in our hearts for the incredible enlightenment that we have received from Gay Children, Straight Parents. This book has changed the life of our family and helped our daughter heal from same-sex attractions. Words can never express the depth of our gratitude."
