Out of a Far Country

A Gay Son's Journey to God. A Broken Mother's Search for Hope

De: Christopher Yuan

Narrado por: Christopher Yuan, Nancy Wu

Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control - and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her.

Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God's desire for all families. Their amazing story, told from the perspectives of both mother and son, offers hope for anyone affected by homosexuality.

Above all expectations

I was dreading to start listening this book, but it was so good I couldn’t stop playing.
Finished within 36h.
It shows what a real journey with God really means. The story is thrilling, full of adrenaline and it all ties together to represent the purposes of God for our lives.

Gives me hope for the journey

Truly love this book. going to listen again. Gives me hope for the journey I'm on with my daughter right now.

Absolutely heartwarming and incredible

As someone who’s been struggling in certain areas in life, such as sexuality etc., This was the perfect read. I grew up in Church, and while I know what I’m not comfortable with (Iv’e been addicted to doing those things). This is a book that helps to bring back my hope and desire to want that relationship with Christ ets, again.

A true story of God's unconditional love.

Such a great story of God's love for his people and His desire for all peoples no matter where they come from to be with Him.

redemption

Redemption is a word that has not been used in Christian circles lately. Being purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ. There is a true change when one has been born again. Another word that you rarely hear these days. ( or maybe I have neglected to hear the right preachers) This book was so refreshing. I cried as I thought back on my own Born again experience. I love hearing or rather reading about the goodness and grace of our Lord and Savior in this man and his mother's life. The good news, the truly good news of Jesus Christ that changes lives.

Amazing Story of Transformation

I really loved how this story was laid out. Switching between the two people on opposite parallel paths. Though the jumps in time can be confusing at times. That's my only issue. Also his life before Christ is pretty explicit even tho he avoids saying certain words. Still you get the idea and it can be pretty disturbing to hear. Worth it in the end tho

Hope

Incredible story of God’s faithfulness & relentless pursuit of His people. I will never read “the Prodigal Son” story the same way again. Such an encouraging reminder that the Good Shepherd is always ready to welcome us home no matter how far we wander.

phenomenal testimony!

What a wonderful testimony of God's miraculous grace in this family's life. Loved the transparency that both Chris and Angela shared.

Soooo Encouraging! ♥️

I have loved ones living a homosexual lifestyle. This has been so very encouraging. I will continue to pray and intercede. I won't come down off the wall.
Thank you for sharing. ♥️

Wow, of the best of 2018

I highly recommend this book to all parents needing to display patience and unconditional love as their adult children make their own choices.

To me, this book was more than about identity and homosexuality. The experience from both Son and Mom/Dad told a bigger story. A story of Love Redemption and the Power of GOD.
