Title: Seeking the straight and narrow
Description: "Losing weight and changing your sexual orientation are both notoriously difficult to do successfully. Yet many faithful evangelical Christians believe that thinness and heterosexuality are godly ideals - and that God will provide reliable paths toward them for those who fall short. Drawing on fieldwork in a popular Christian weight-loss program and in a network of ex-gay ministries, Lynne Gerber's Seeking the straight and narrow is a fascinating account of the world of evangelical efforts to alter our strongest bodily desires." -- Book cover.
