* Winner, 1960 Mattachine Award of Merit "For active promotion of individual freedom and education in the human community.... for the inspiration his outspoken message has given to so many...

* Winner, 1959-60 Prospero Award of Merit "...for courage as well as penetrating research in a field or subject that is taboo in our current society..."

* "Sparkling, intimate, compassionate and well informed-this book is among other things probably the best and most readable description of gay life currently in print... This is the first book written by a responsible clergyman to welcome homosexuals into the Church without demanding that they give up the practice of homosexuality. This book will still be talked about years from now." ONE magazine

* "Anyone could profit from this book. It will challenge the most profound theologian, yet be practical and clarifying to the simplest layman... The homosexual may get a fresh prospective of himself..." SEXOLOGY magazine

* "It will assuredly serve as an ideal gift (in some cases perhaps anonymous) from such homosexuals to their priests, pastors, ministers.... the penetrating astuteness of the Rev. Mr. Wood... As he writes with characteristic wit and humor...deals with this main theme on both the theological level and the level of Christ's philosophy..." Mattachine REVIEW

Because many media have declined to sell advertising space for this book and numerous book stores and retail outlets have likewise refused to carry it the great majority of the public does not yet know about this book. You can help disseminate its challenging message by purchasing 3 coples:
