Summary
"Coming Out Within explores loss--feeling unacceptable to family, church, or workplace, losing loved one to AIDS; being despised by segments of society--as a catalyst for growth. Using an eight-stage model illustrated with real life stores, Ritter and O'Neill chart the process by which even the most poignant loss can facilitate personal and spiritual transformation"--Page 4 of cover.
