Out of a Far Country | Christopher Yuan and Angela Yuan

A mother and son tell their stories, variations on the parable of the Prodigal Son. Only this time both mother and son were lost: the mother to moralism and idols of achievement, the son to a life of homosexuality, drug dealing, and jail. Both needed rescue. It's also the story of a mother's proud heart being softened by the gospel, her faithful prayers for her husband and son, and God's gracious work in all their lives. Christopher Yuan explains how he came to ask: "Who am I apart from my sexuality?" At first he didn't have an answer. But he came to understand that his identity as "a child of the living God must be in Jesus Christ alone." Well-written and worth reading.
