Review:
Nobody is better at capturing the ups and downs of queer life than Michael Thomas Ford, author of the popular "My Queer Life" syndicated column. This original collection takes on everything from show tunes and Martha Stewart to the perils of dating and the son of God himself, all some of the things that make life very queer indeed.

Review:
In 25 candid discussions, Bears on Bears brings together 57 contributors from around the world, from a rich variety of perspectives and backgrounds. With lighthearted playfulness as well as serious analysis, these Bears (as well as some nonbearish Bear-lovers) describe themselves, their lives and loves, their sense of masculinity, and their flourishing community-cum-culture. Widely excerpted in the gay media, Bears on Bears is the first interview book ever (gay-themed or otherwise) compiled primarily from online interactions. This groundbreaking collection of voices gathered from in and around the edge of this unique culture is both entertaining and enlightening. Several of the interviews were serialized on Resources for Bears and some are still available in the archives (look for articles written by Ron Suresha). More info available at bearsonbears.com.

Review:
Richard Isay represents a therapist with an empathetic voice whose own struggle with sexuality extended over a period of many frustrating years. Fortunately, he understands that given the choice no man would have chosen to be gay. Therefore, there is no psychoanalytical cure. The only alternative is for men to find self-acceptance within their particular sets of circumstances. Isay wisely advises men not to make rash judgments about coming out. Instead, he argues that there are many reasons for the closet, particularly those constructed by heterosexually married gay men. This book is a must read for all therapists, both straight and gay. It is also a must read for anyone who wants to understand the problem of self-acceptance for gay men.

Using the magical and mythic language of classic stories from around the world, Fairy Tales takes familiar myths and folktales and turns them into stories about men coming out, learning to trust themselves, looking for and finding love, facing AIDS, and helping those they love.

Review:
Part memoir, part self-help, Gooch's book offers gay men an inspirational guide. Reviews are mixed, but it's flying off the shelves...

Review:
This book is an excellent way for the gay male to let go of the baggage in his life that is the basis for self-destructive behavior. Gay males all too often fail to live up to their God-given potential because we carry baggage of growing up in repressive families, schools, and communities. Isensee identifies the possible sources of this baggage and then invites his readers to work it through for themselves with a seriesof questions at the end of each chapter. Hence, this is a book to be worked through and the process can be liberating or as the title states "reclaiming". Worth the read and the reflection.

Sex and Spirit is an exciting and provocative collection of essays. James Arimond discovers a 12th century monastic community based on man-to-man love. Laurence Hermsen reveals the shamanic foundation of The Wizard of Oz, and invites us all to follow the Yellow Brick Road. Buddhist priest Tundra Wind offers Zen as a tradition in which gay men can flourish. Michael Clark offers an ecotheology for our time. Joseph Kramer explores a healthy sexuality and how it brings healing to the whole person.
