in church life in small town Arkansas, as a young man Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality. When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was outed to his parents, and was forced to make a life-changing decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to "cure" him of homosexuality; or risk losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his life. Through an institutionalized Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay, cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and brutal journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to break out in search of his true self and forgiveness. By confronting his buried past and the burden of a life lived in shadow, Garrard traces the complex relationships among family, faith, and community. At times heart-breaking, at times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love that survives despite all odds. 2016.By Ann Silversides. 2003

La dernière décennie, avec son lot d'innovations numériques, nous donne parfois l'impression que l'on a atterri sur une nouvelle planète. Pourtant, en grattant un peu, on s'aperçoit bien souvent que derrière le vernis de notre culture et de nos comportements modernes se cachent nombre de fonctionnements anciens. À travers 50 questions, Fabien Loszach tente d'expliquer que le monde tel qu'il est aujourd'hui façonné par les nouvelles technologies de l'information n'est peut-être pas si différent du bon vieux temps .
