“Such Were Some of You” is a powerful and inspiring documentary! And it is one that can be used as a support group or teaching DVD. The program features several former gays and lesbians that frankly discuss their backgrounds, their attraction to people of the same sex, their empty feelings and ultimately their redemption through the power of God’s word and the Lord.

Julie Hamilton, Ph.D., shares her knowledge including the fact that a person that said in the 90s there was a gay gene discovered in fact was not telling the truth. Other experts include Dr. Robert A.J. Gagnon, Associate Professor of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, that states God designed men and women to fit together sexually in marriage. We hear many common stories in the DVD, such as individuals who did not feel a bond with a mother or father, loneliness, and they craved love. We hear from those that were molested, raped, abused and how it affected them in their decision to walk in the gay lifestyle. We hear some share that they still occasionally struggle in the mind but that God has delivered them. Several tell of how a small voice, the voice of God, encouraged them that He was with them and would help them.

This powerful and compelling production is frank, featuring many comments about sex, but it is done with taste as the individuals share what God brought them out of. “Such Were Some of You” makes it clear that no matter what the sin is, God can make it a former sin and give those who are thirsty a new life. What a powerful tool!
