Summary: ~ how things REALLY are for Gods gay children ~
Comment: I recently finished this great book. It made me laugh, cry ... filled me with hope, and fear too. It caught my eye at a bookstore (seeing how I'm a gay Christian). I thank God for Mel White and his courage! I hope to meet his someday. This book is a GREAT read of anyone affected by the oppression of his or her local church.

Summary: A Breath Of Fresh Air For GLBT Christians - A Mighty Warrior
Comment: Imagine that you are away in the country on a camping trip with a group of guys. You are all sitting around a campfire and telling stories. As you are galing stories about headless horsemen, ghosts, and etc, imagine that when one man shares, he tells you a story of triumph and tragedy, defeat and victory, over some things that he has had to come through. Imagine that he allows you, even for a moment, to see through his eyes right into his soul. That is what Dr. White does in his book "Stranger At The Gate: To Be Gay And Christian In America". He has shown his readers a picture...a moving picture of sights, sounds, scents, familiar feelings of childhood, awkward feelings of young adulthood, and the many other things that we keep hidden in our long-term memory bank. In reading this book, several chords were struck with me. I was very elated when Mel would talk about his years at WPC in Portland, OR, as well as his years at University Of Portland, as well as the broacasting projects that were local Portland favorites that gave Mel the start on his professional journey. I very easily identified with almost everything that Dr. White talked about here. Growing up in a fundamentalist environment, surrounded by people who's only focus in life was to get people "saved" and cared very little about accepting them for who, and what, they truly are. For the first time in my life, I was reading something where throughout almost the entire book I kept thinking to myself, "Finally! Someone else understands!" While going on this journey back in time with a heroic warrior, I felt as if we were discussing life issues over coffee at the nearest Starbucks. Mel is extremely personal in his writing and allows a metamorphosis to appear as evident to his readers...a metamorphosis between trying to live as his "ideal self" to loving, accepting, affirming, and living as his "true self". I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to come to terms with their sexuality, as well as anyone who has a glbt friend or relative. It is a real eye opener and honestly it blessed me and encouraged me.

Summary: To be Gay and Christian in North Ringwood, Australia
Comment: I thought it would be nice for readers to receive a view from a gay man who loves the Lord Jesus Christ in Australia.
I think I always knew I was gay but found I had terribly conflicting feelings growing up within the North Ringwood Baptist Church. Reverend Ernie Felchier would preach the strength of the gospel while I would hide my terrible shame. I did learn to accept my homosexuality with time and now I jump at the opportunity to find books that deal with my struggle. Hear hear Mel White.....thank you and God bless you !!
