Book Details
The eighth novel follows the progression of the The Father’s Touch Ministry as it expands into the cities in North America, Europe, and then into Russia. The mission of the Ministry is still to help people with a variety of gender and sexuality issues. To its amazement the Russian government requested that the Ministry develop its centers and programs throughout Mother Russia. Though reluctant to be connected with any political system, the Ministry felt an arrangement could be worked out that would maintain its spiritual independence. The opportunity poses a great challenge to Joseph Formoso, the present executive director and his staff. Other main characters, Brian Hall, Jerry Gilligan and Helen Swingle continue to play vital roles as well. Then, as always, there continues to be persecution from the militant members of the LGBT community, and other citizens unsure of the Ministry’s purpose.
