Book Recommendations: Secret Thoughts and Far Country

The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: an English Professor's Journey into Christian Faith. By Rosaria Champagne Butterfield. Pittsburgh: Crown & Covenant, 2012.

Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son's Journey to God. A Broken Mother's Search for Hope. By Christopher Yuan & Angela Yuan. Colorado Springs: WaterBrook, 2011.

Same story. Very different circumstances!

Both of these are autobiographical accounts of how the gospel transforms homosexuals and gives them new life in Christ. Both stories reveal the deceptions that abound in the homosexual lifestyle and community. Both demonstrate the emptiness of life apart from salvation in Christ. Both convey the power of the Gospel to bring change, healing, hope, and forgiveness in Christ. As with every other form of sin, Christ is THE answer for the homosexual.

While much of these separate stories is similar, there are differences as well. Rosaria was part of the intellectual/rights/agenda gay community. Christopher was part of the drug/party culture of the gay community. Rosaria was won to the Lord through the patient ongoing friendship with a pastor and his wife. Christopher was won to the Lord while in prison for drugs, by a fellow inmate. Rosaria now has a husband and children. Christopher has remained single. Different beginnings. Different paths of ministry as they follow Christ. Same God. Same Gospel. Same Outcome: a change of heart that led to a change of life - salvation!

I would recommend these books to anyone struggling with same-sex attraction, any member of the gay community who is willing to read a firsthand account of the Bible's view and the Bible's hope, and anyone who has a gay friend or family member.
