Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son's Journey to God. A Broken Mother's Search for Hope

Rate this book
Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control - and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her.

Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God's desire for all families. Their amazing story, told from the perspectives of both mother and son, offers hope for anyone affected by homosexuality.

I always give a book only 1 star if I can’t finish it for some reason. I love Christopher Yuan. I have heard him speak on many Christian podcasts about his life in homosexuality. However, I couldn’t make it through even half of this book because it’s way too graphic for me. He goes into details I don’t want to hear.
