“A MUST-READ FOR PASTORAL EDUCATORS AND COUNSELORS. I didn't so much read this book with my head as felt it with my heart. The witnesses whom Stevenson has assembled divulge not only the wounds of being gay in a heterosexist culture, but also the joys of appreciating their sexual orientation.”

“THE STONE THAT WAS REJECTED HAS BECOME THE CORNERSTONE. Many gay Catholics have discovered they cannot live out the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church on homosexuality without destroying themselves psychologically and spiritually. They have gone through a maturing process, which led them to find the voice of God from within themselves and their own experience. This book recounts that spiritual maturing process in the lives of many gay men.”

“This morning I received an e-mail from a friend in Mexico telling me of a gay Catholic friend of his who rang him up at 4am to tell him that he wanted to kill himself. This is the book I would love to have been able to give him to put into his friend's hand, praying that that friend would have the patience to allow himself to hear the depth of such quiet words.”
-- James Alison, Theologian and Author of Faith Beyond Resentment: Fragments Gay and Catholic (from the Foreword)
