Short description

A Bigger World Yet is about an ache and a longing in our culture for friendship and brotherhood. It is a book about emotional orphans with wounds and hungers of the heart. This book is about boys who needed connections to loving men and friends growing up, but instead received abuse and absence. This book is one Christian man's spiritual odyssey. A Bigger World Yet is a song of hope.

Extended description

From the back cover:
This book is a wrestling match. It is about the precarious journey of many men in our time. A Bigger World Yet is about an ache and a longing in our culture for friendship and brotherhood. It is a book about emotional orphans with wounds and hungers of the heart. This book is about boys who needed connections to loving men and friends growing up, but instead received abuse and absence. This book is one man's spiritual odyssey.
These pages are for those who follow Christ and want to do something for men who struggle with sexualizing their own gender, rather than just passively debate over the matter. This is for men and women of God who want to get their hands dirty and not sit on the sidelines of a topic that is tearing the body of Christ in two. A Bigger World Yet is a song of hope.

Review by: John Langford on May 27, 2012 : star star star star star
I found this book to be quite compelling. Mr. Timmerman does an amazing job of relating the emotional issues of same sex attracted men. By telling his own story in his own words he offers hope to others that perhaps they too might find a circle of supporting friends to help them satisfy their same sex needs in a non sexual way. And is so doing will be enabled to live in integrity and authenticity that the gay lifestyle can never provide. I would highly recomned this book for anyone who struggles with a gender identity problem, or anyone that has a loved one or friend that struggles.
