HOW WILL I TELL MY MOTHER? A TRUE STORY OF ONE MAN'S BATTLE WITH HOMOSEXUALITY &amp; AIDS Why would a Christian man be attracted to homosexuality? How does homosexuality start? What do parents need to know? Is there a gay underworld? What do churches need to know? Are persons with AIDS "guilty"? For Jerry Arterburn, his early exposure to homosexuality occurred at church-related functions, beginning at the age of five when he was molested by an older boy at church camp - the same night he accepted Jesus. How Will I Tell My Mother? is the frank, told-from-the-inside story of alienation and rejection, acceptance and hope, as a man longing to fit in. How Will I Tell My Mother? is Jerry's personal life story and his personal message to the church, to the family of the AIDS patient, to the parents of a homosexual child, to the homosexual, and to the AIDS patient.
