Never before have we faced such challenges in our culture with respect to issues of our sexuality and gender identity. Wilna van Beek is a voice of wisdom, strength, and courage in the desert. I have not seen this kind of profoundly important information presented so succinctly in any other format. Simplifying and bringing the confusion into an understandable place of dialogue and support, she has captured both the heart of the matter and the challenge of our culture. Families facing unexpected news of a child who comes out, or someone dealing with their own internal battle, will find real answers as they wrestle through this emotionally charged topic. Wilna's bravery, character, and calling are for such a time as this and I thank God for her! --Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson Co-Host of The 700 Club Canada and Host of Laura-Lynn & Friends Author of Relentless Redemption In When Gay Comes Home, Wilna van Beek beautifully weaves together two profound stories into a tapestry of faith, hope, and love. The first story is her story. It is told with compelling courage and refreshing transparency and desperately needs to be heard today. Wilna's honest vulnerability projects us beyond the predictable and tired cultural norms of individualism, self-identification, and sensual pleasure and allows us to see that there is another, higher way to live: the way of humility and repentance, which leads to transformation and genuine life! The second story is the well-worn but often misunderstood story of Jesus and how Jesus loves and cares for people... all people. It is Jesus who enables the transformation we all so desperately require. In the book, Wilna capably serves as both a pastor and a prophetess. As pastor, she effectively explains Scripture to provide comfort, encouragement, and hope. As prophetess, she boldly proclaims truth. Be prepared to be uncomfortable as you read When Gay Comes Home. Truth has a way of making us feel that way. The clear and timeless biblical foundations established in this book will enable the timely application of its truth in the lives of individuals, families facing real-life challenges, and Christian congregations seeking to reflect the fullness of both grace and truth.--David E. HazzardGeneral Secretary Treasurer, Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada
