BOCA RATON, Fl., Oct. 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- New book to focus on families and friends impacted by homosexuality. The book, BEGINNINGS: Hope & Healing for Families & Friends of A Gay Loved One, is written by Robert Taylor, a person who left homosexuality over 18 years ago, yet has a gay family member. Rev. Taylor is the Executive Director of Metanoia Ministries, a ministry dedicated to helping families and individuals touched by homosexuality. "Hearing the words 'I'm gay' for the first time has a rippling effect in the lives of family members and friends. This book offers support and encouragement to those who have a gay loved one," says Taylor.

Here is what others say about BEGINNINGS: Hope & Healing for Families and Friends of a Gay Loved One:

"Rob Taylor's BEGINNINGS Program is a gift for friends and families of a gay loved one. It is written out of experience, need and compassion--the vital elements of such an undertaking. Rob offers hope, information, support and understanding that will equip and prepare the reader for handling this difficult and painful season in life."

***Dr. Nancy Heche's life took an unexpected turn when her actress daughter, Anne Heche, entered a lesbian relationship with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

"One of the most frequent calls to Exodus International is from parents with gay children. Our desire is to support, educate, encourage and love on them. We also want to help them love their son or daughter. BEGINNINGS is a phenomenal resource that does all of the above. I join with the chorus of my friends and colleagues who are endorsing this excellent resource. I recommend you get it for yourself or for someone you know with a gay loved one."
