Foreword INDIES Award Finalist IVP Readers' Choice Award In an age
where neither society nor the church knows what to do with gay
Christians, Greg Coles tells his own story. Let's make a deal, you
and me. Let's make promises to each other. I promise to tell you my
story. The whole story. I'll tell you about a boy in love with
Jesus who, at the fateful onset of puberty, realized his sexual
attractions were persistently and exclusively for other guys. I'll
tell you how I lay on my bed in the middle of the night and
whispered to myself the words I've whispered a thousand times
since: "I'm gay." I'll show you the world through my eyes. I'll
tell you what it's like to belong nowhere. To know that much of my
Christian family will forever consider me unnatural, dangerous,
because of something that feels as involuntary as my eye color. And
to know that much of the LGBTQ community that shares my experience
as a sexual minority will disagree with the way I've chosen to
interpret the call of Jesus, believing I've bought into a tragic,
archaic ritual of self-hatred. But I promise my story won't all be
sadness and loneliness and struggle. I'll tell you good things too,
hopeful things, funny things, like the time I accidentally came out
to my best friend during his bachelor party. I'll tell you what it
felt like the first time someone looked me in the eyes and said,
"You are not a mistake." I'll tell you that joy and sorrow are not
opposites, that my life has never been more beautiful than when it
was most brokenhearted. If you'll listen, I promise I'll tell you
everything, and you can decide for yourself what you want to
believe about me.
