Janelle Hallman and Desert Hope Ministries Product Line
      Announcing the release of Janelle's new book!

After many years of interviewing, researching, writing and re-writing, the book, The Heart of Female Same-Sex Attraction: A Comprehensive Counseling Resource (2008, InterVarsity Press) is finally here. While it has gained the support and interest of many, the book is primarily intended for mental health professionals and educators. However, the book is reader-friendly and can also serve as an indispensable guide for clergy, lay counselors, mentors, friends and especially family members of women with same-sex attraction. And lastly, but perhaps most importantly, this book is dedicated to and for the women who are themselves struggling or looking for greater understanding into their lives. For these women (and their parents), the material presented in this book may stir up difficult emotions, and the stories and framework presented may be initially exposing and challenging. It is my hope that this will not discourage the women or their loved ones from continuing to learn and reflect on their journeys. You are my heros! Janelle Hallman
