Next thing I know, she commented on my blog with an offer to review the book, which I took her up on.
so I entered to win and commented that I hoped to win it, as I also struggle with same-sex attractions as her main character in the book does. She was giving away a copy of this novel. Another Christian fiction author was having a Christian fiction scavenger hunt online - they are fun, though I never win anything - and June was one of the authors participating. I'd never heard of this author until last week. This is an emotional, dramatic, wholesome novel that is based-not on biased assumptions-but on fact coming out of the successful treatment of wounded individuals through Christ-centered counsel. I applaud June Foster’s novel that is full of insight from her experience as a Christian counselor. Is there hope for a man who is confused over homosexual urges because he’s never known the love of a father? Is there hope for a damaged man because he never saw any decency in his abusive mother? June Foster’s novel inspired me to realize that there is hope for people who have not had anyone to show them the right way. I wanted so badly for his female love interest, Sandy Arrington, to help Ryan realize that there is healing toward a life of Godly sexual desires within the context of traditional marriage of one man, one woman. In the novel, Ryan Reid is a young, sensitive, masculine man that I wanted to win over the torment that had haunted him from his unhappy youth.
This is a novel I wish every Christian would read in our day and age. I wish I could give this book more than five stars. I didn’t know I would care as much as I came to care. I had no idea that once I started on page one, I would be glued to the pages to find out what would happen next. Before I started to read June Foster’s novel RYAN’S FATHER, I didn’t have a clue as to how much I would enjoy it.
