Ebook About Over 100,000 copies sold!Coming Out, Then Coming Home 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. God calls all who are lost to come home to him. Casting a compelling vision for holy sexuality, Out of a Far Country speaks to prodigals, parents of prodigals, and those wanting to minister to the gay community.“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” - Luke 15:20 Includes a discussion guide for personal reflection and group use.Book Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son's Journey to God. A Broken Mother's Search for Hope. Review :
Nobody chooses to be gay, as far as I know. Not one single individual I have shared my story with our who has told me their story has said these words, “Yes, I was sitting in my room one day and decided I was going to choose to be gay.” Not one. What I have heard is story after story of individuals who, at some point in their life, discovered they were gay, how they tried to make sense of the feelings, and how they eventually came out. The pattern usually goes like this: “I realized I was different than the other (boy/girls), I realized I was sexually attracted to members of the same sex, I tried to suppress, I tried to change, I struggled for many years, I finally came to terms, and with fear and trembling I finally came out.” For me, it started when I was a mere nine years old. Such a complex issue and one I have worked through for over five decades.So what I most appreciated about this book is that it is an authentic story by a gay man about his experience of being gay and coming to God, and NOT a theological treatise on whether homosexuality is sanctioned by the Bible or not. I want to hear how people who are same sex attracted, like myself, come to terms with the fact that they are same sex attracted and how they square that same sex attraction in/with their relationship with God. For me, this book does exactly that.This is not a “pray the gay away” book, (I tried that…) nor is it a “conversion therapy” book, (been there as well, and it wasn't damaging or as dangerous as you have been lead to believe) but an account of the depths to which Christopher Yuan experienced the gay community and lifestyle and how he met God at the lowest point in his life, as well as how God moved in the life of his mother in such a dramatic way to completely change her and give her the endurance to persist in prayer for her son.I found this book to be compelling. Although my experience nowhere matches that of Christopher Yuan’s, I could relate on so many levels. The chapter on Holy Sexuality finally put into place some pieces I had been missing in my attempts to understand my own struggle. I am currently reading his book: “Holy Sexuality and the Gospel: Sex, Desire, and Relationships Shaped by God's Grand Story" and am loving every word of it. It is as if finally I have found a brother who understands me, my life, my experiences, my same sex attraction, and my desire for God. Published testimonies from Christians who have same-sex attractions are nothing too unusual. However, "Out of a Far Country" has a big difference, it consists of TWO people's testimonies - one of the prodigal son and one of the always-welcoming mother. What makes this approach interesting is that every chapter alternates between the testimony and point of view of the son (Christopher Yuan) and his mother (Angela Yuan). So you're literally seeing the story unfold from 2 people's point of view - each coming from their own perspective, giving us essentially 2 sides of the same story. Layered on top of that, you get to see the unique personal struggles of both Christopher and Angela - both of them struggled with very different things, and how God worked on Christopher through his journey with same sex attractions, addictions, high-flying LGBT lifestyle and drugs, while Angela struggled with her son's rejection of her love, her son's homosexuality, her strained marriage and her broken past. It's a book filled with the full range of human emotions and God's work in turning them both from unbelief to belief, from hopelessness to hope and from death to life.What really struck me about this book is how well-written and well-articulated it is. The writing is refined, it's not crass, it flows extremely well chapter-to-chapter. When reading it, I felt the pain, desperation, turning points and joy that both Christopher and Angela experienced. The descriptions were so vivid that it felt as if I was present at the dining table with Angela, at the dining table with Chris and family, at the train station with Angela, at the parties then in jail with Chris, and at the prayer room with Angela, and so on. Because Christopher and Angela Yuan have both gone through so much in their lives, there is so much to follow in the book and it kept me reading literally non-stop. Every chapter spurred me on to read "just one more chapter" because I was keen to find out what happened to them next. Furthermore, because each chapter is quite short, I end up reading a good number of chapters on each sitting! And every chapter feels different and interesting. Because it comes from two angles, it made this book twice as touching and impactful for me. I found myself cheering for Angela, for Leon (Christopher's father) and of course, Chris himself. It is a modern real-life tale of the prodigal son and long-suffering parents... and a long-suffering God, who loved them all so much that He gave His Son for them all, and saved the Yuan's entire family.I said there was a sting in the end and the sting is this: I felt a bit sad at the end because Christopher indicated that he continues to live with the reality of HIV, and so he must continue to monitor himself - and there may come a point in time he may have to actually start taking medication to treat it. That said, it is so good to see how God had completely turned the Yuan family's lives around - especially Christopher, when he could've been dead countless times! Highly recommended.
