For conversation and discussion around the book “A Bigger World Yet: Faith, Brotherhood, and Same-Sex Needs,” proceed to the “The Book” category in the list on the right for all posts and conversations pertaining to it.

Here are just a few of the very kind e-mails that have been sent to me regarding the book:

“First of all I want to let you know that I did receive your book yesterday.  I read the first chapter….as soon as I started reading it I said to myself, “WOW!, he wrote THE book!”  This is the book that has never been written.  Thank you, Tim, for stepping out there and being so honest.  Many of us can just shake our head in agreement.  This is especially so for those of us who are desiring to seriously follow Jesus AND have a deep need for authentic connection with other men.”  J. K.

“You have your finger on what may be a primary key to Christian Maturity in our sexualized age.  Having done mental health therapy with men and women for 32 years, my sense is:

1.      Being needy is a Gift

2.      Christians need the teaching and discipline of how to be gracious receivers of the gift(s).

3.      “If you are aroused or have a sexual charge, you spend it” (Tim Timmerman, p.196) What I have often termed the “Rabbits in Heat” version of human sexuality.

4.      Male intimacy and teamwork is the foundational protocol/strategy for the Kingdom of God.

Knowing what I know – Love you Brother! “ A.V.

“A friend of mine recently bought me a copy of your book A Bigger World Yet.  I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for you and for taking the time to write what you wrote in this book.  I resonated with it so much and agreed with practically everything you’ve shared in the book.  I’ve taught on the very same things you’ve shared and it’s great that I finally have a resource that I can refer to in support of what I believe in as well.”  B. G.

“Thanks for sharing your life with us… I really like the book and I resonate with it—reading it is refreshing me quite nicely, and helping me with some of my own issues, turning points and decisions.  So God used you, at least in MY world, as you penned the book.  Thank you again for it, Tim.” R. E.
