Although this book initially may appeal only to those who are already LGBT allies, I feel like it should be read by anyone who has a heart. Following the story of a man actively involved with an ex-gay ministry while struggling with his own homosexuality, this book conveys what it is like to be torn between the genuine desire to live an obedient and godly (as taught by churches everywhere) while also struggling with his own homosexuality.The story is well told and well-written, and I could feel the pain the main character felt as he started to question everything he has ever been taught by the church he loves. As the story unfolds, the author also describes the personal spiritual and mental anguish experienced by the men who are trying to become ex-gay, and details his own pain as he accepts responsibility for the part he played in causing such damage.This is not a fairy-tale, which is why it’s such an important book. Churches everywhere continue to cause irreparable harm to LGBT people everywhere, and the ex-gay ministry is thriving despite scientific research that says not only does it not work, it actively hurts people.What this book is, though, is redemptive. For Nate, for those who actively support and fight against those who might try to “fix” people who aren’t broken, this book is a way to open up new dialogue as we fight for our LGBT family.
