Seeking the Straight and Narrow - Weight Loss and Sexual Reorientation in Evangelical America

Zusammenfassung Drawing on fieldwork at First Place, a popular Christian weight-loss program, and Exodus International, a network of ex-gay ministries, this title explores why some Christians feel that being fat or gay offends God, what exactly they do to lose weight or go straight, and how they make sense of the program's results - or, frequently, their lack.
