Reviews
"To maintain Biblical convictions with civility is the challenge faced by believing Christians while being criticized, often unfairly, by the LGBTQ Lobby. This book is a realistic and compassionate testimony of how 'love,' as defined in 1 Corinthians 13, and the 'Fruit of the Spirit,' in Galatians 5, can be applied in our family journeys. Joyce does not deny the pain, even agony, of the struggle but through a sister's loyal tears maintains both Christian commitment and faithful love. The challenge is not easy and cannot avoid heartache of the deepest kind but in the end 'the truth will set us free.'" --Jay Kesler, president emeritus, Taylor University "Joyce has had two decades to process these complex issues. Her insights and wisdom provide timely guidance for many of today's families, particularly those who find themselves on a steep learning curve with gay and lesbian family members." --Heidi Lakanen, MD
Synopsis
Scattering Ashes is a resource for Christian families confronting the reality of their loved one's gay lifestyle. Joyce Smith Helyer takes the reader on a journey that changed her life when her brother began their midnight Christmas Eve conversation with these words, ""Joyce, I have something to tell you."" As I waited expectantly for what he was going to say next, he paused, but then shifted the conversation. He tried again, but the same thing happened. I felt like he was trying to land an airplane in trouble and kept circling the airport looking for the best approach. His attempted landings kept falling short of the runway. A vague sense of uneasiness began to fill my mind . . . Little did I realize that my nice, ""typical"" Christian experience would be undergoing a significant change . . . Fear I could barely articulate almost overwhelmed me . . . Finally, I looked at my handsome, 26-year-old brother and knew the words he was having so much difficulty saying. ""Ron, are you trying to tell me you're gay?"" His quiet response echoed across the living room. ""I thought you had it figured out.""

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
