I first began my efforts to spread this message of hope and deliverance to the gay community through my 2008 publishing of The Barbed Wire Fence. While remaining strong in my faith as a devout Christian, I am still a Georgia resident. INNER-VIEWS contains individual input from gays and lesbians, selected at random, concerning their views on sexuality politics and religion; as such subjects pertain to their own lives and their own personal experiences. It is not intended to be any manner of a study.....One would need far more than the amount of interviews I have included within these pages in order to do such a study, for any reason. This is ministry to homosexuals who might be seeking freedom from the behavior, or anyone struggling with any manner of addiction which perplexes them in their own unaided efforts to find freedom. Well over fifteen years ago, I felt spiritually inspired to devise a manner of ministering to gays and lesbians that would hopefully be a useful source of hope and inspiration to those seeking relative ministerial input. And so, with pen in hand, I scrutinized my own recovery process, which I was still undergoing, in order to compile what I believed were pertinent questions. These questions would hopefully serve to enlighten an individual on just how, when and where their own homosexual inclinations came to be and whether or not seeking to overcome those inclinations would be an undertaking they'd care to take. According to scripture, God knew me long before I came into existence. He knew the struggles I would have and my shortcomings. God knew me. To this extent, alone, I am qualified to provide the input read within these pages. I sincerely hope it's enjoyed and simply appreciated for what it is.

Over the last two years, Breskin interviewed seven of contemporary filmmaking's greatest directors--David Lynch, Francis Ford Coppola, Oliver Stone, Spike Lee, David Cronenberg, Tim Burton and Robert Altman.

What has Star Trek to do with eternal life? It provides the perfect metaphor for understanding the main Christian views concerning what happens to us when we die. In this book, Silas Langley uses the Star Trek transporter beam to explain five main Christian views about life after death. Each of us lives with some personal answer to the universal question of what comes after death. Even among Christians, views differ as to what exactly happens when we die. Meanwhile, the modern secular world increasingly challenges the possibility of life after death. How can we live again after we die if much of science and philosophy suggests that all that we are dies with our bodies? This book shows how each of these views responds to these challenges. Death, Resurrection, and Transporter Beams sorts out these disagreements and their biblical grounding. These differences matter, since they bear on who we are and how we are to live our lives. Readers will come away with a clearer understanding of their own beliefs on this topic, and with tools to enter into dialogue with people whose beliefs differ.
