A young man in despair cries out: Why cant I be gay and still be loved by God? And God replies: Yes you can! Yes you are! Once in a generation there comes a story so rare and beautiful that it changes peoples lives. The Voice of My Brothers Blood is such a story. David Shepherd is a picture of the perfect sonhandsome young teacher in an evangelical Christian ministry. Once caught up in the hedonistic gay lifestyle in San Francisco, David is convinced he has been changed by the will of God. Summoned to counsel a student who refuses to accept traditional Bible teaching on homosexuality, David knew from the moment he looked into the compelling brown eyes of Mark Ward that this defiant young man with the face of an angel would challenge everything he thought he believed. Together David and Mark find themselves swept up in a struggle for justice, searching for the strength to stand against a Goliath of religious bigotry. Liberally referencing the Bible as a weapon for truth, The Voice of My Brothers Blood is a story of adoration and conviction that jerks the sanctimonious foundation out from under religious intolerance. _________________________________________ David Charles Craley is a writer, editor and, for more than four decades, a researcher and teacher of the Bible.

People, in the new dawn of life a flower bud, small and energetic. We grow into a beautiful blossom, give joy to the world, and when we have done so, gradually fade away into our own time. Sometimes we are remembered with gladness and hapiness, recalling a momentous occasion, sometimes we are remembered with sadness and melancholy. Always, there is a purpose in everything. Destiny shapes all the elements.
