Summary:
Isaac Morris has devoted his life to preaching against the sin of homosexuality. But when his sister proposes a documentary to demonstrate once and for all that it’s a choice—with Isaac choosing to be gay as proof—he balks. Until he learns his nephew is headed down that perverted path. Isaac will do anything to convince the teenager he can choose to be straight . . . including his sister’s film.
When Isaac’s first foray into the gay lifestyle ends with a homophobic beating, he’s saved and cared for by Colton Roberts, a gentle, compassionate bartender with a cross around his neck. Colton challenges every one of Isaac’s deeply held beliefs about gay men. He was kicked out by homophobic parents, saved from the streets by a kind pastor, and is now a devout Christian. Colton’s sexuality has cost him dearly, but it also brought him to God.
As the two grow closer, everything Isaac knows about homosexuality, his faith, and himself is called into question. And if he’s been wrong all along, what does that mean for his ministry, his soul, his struggling nephew—and the man he never meant to love?

Author Bio
Ann Gallagher is the slightly more civilized alter ego of L.A. Witt, Lauren Gallagher, and Lori A. Witt. So she tells herself, anyway. When she isn’t wreaking havoc on Spain with her husband and trusty two-headed Brahma bull, she writes romances just like her wilder counterparts, but without all the heat. She is also far too mature to get involved in the petty battle between L.A. and Lauren, but she’s seriously going to get even with Lori for a certain incident that shall not be discussed publicly.

Aww, thanks, Carolyn 🙂
It’s true!
And I don’t say that just because sometimes you give me free books…not that that hurts. 😉
LOL!
Sounds like a very good book.

It is an EXCELLENT book, Sherry.
Great sounding summary and competition! I’m always intrigued by stories where the main characters change their view/opinion for the better – especially where religion is a big factor in their dislike/bigotry. So I’m definately going to have to add this to my TBR Pile!
I’ve read numerous books by L.A. Witt/Lauren Gallagher and am currently reading ‘What He Left Behind’ – so I’ve little doubt this will be a great read too. 😀
It is a very thought-provoking novel and Ms. Gallagher does a wonderful job presenting both sides of the argument.
Sounds interesting
It’s a great novel.
Sound very good. I would love to read it
I’ll admit I was scared away by the word “Inspirational” but it truly does sound very interesting and I love when long-held views are challenged.

Those long held views are definitely challenged-in a very thought-provoking manner.
I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read about this book. I’ve already added it to my TBR list and can’t wait to read it.
