Overview
This book, written by a pastoral theologian with years of experience in counseling gay and lesbian individuals and their families, assists both pastoral caregivers and congregations in examining and enhancing their pastoral care of homosexuals and their families. This book provides factual information, theological and biblical insight, and practical counseling skills to help congregations become caring communities for gays and lesbians.
In the church and even outside of it, few subjects stir controversy—and tempers—more quickly than the church's response to homosexuality. In Pastoral Care of Gays, Lesbians, and Their Families, David Switzer recognized the sensitivity of the homosexuality issue in the church. . . . [The book] will challenge readers to examine their ministry to gays and lesbians in the congregations and enhance their ministry to them.

A cursory reading of Chapter Three "What the Bible Says about Homosexuality (Homosexual Acts)" reveals that the author's theology is liberal. Likewise his hermeneutic of Holy Scripture is not in accordance with traditional Greek translation. If you believe God condones homosexuality then this book is for you, otherwise save your money. I wish I had.
