From Queer To Christ: My Journey Into the Light

by George Carneal

Overview

George Carneal grew up in the '70s, raised by a Southern Baptist minister in the ultra-conservative Bible Belt, where his world revolved around the church, country fried chicken, and trying to fit in with other boys. As disco music pulsated through the speakers in his bedroom, he plotted his escape from the misery and boredom of Southern suburbia before landing in Los Angeles; a city of glitz and hedonism. Much like Alice as she traveled through the looking glass, this is George's journey through a queer culture fantasyland filled with drag queens, drugs, and dangerous situations before discovering healing, joy, and peace in Christ. This true story details his struggles in a religious world at odds with, and often hostile toward, homosexuals.

About the Author

George Carneal, author of “From Queer to Christ," grew up in the ’70s, raised by a Southern Baptist minister in the ultra-conservative Bible Belt. For years he struggled with his Christian faith and a same-sex attraction. George shares his painful journey through a secular world at odds with homosexuality, in addition to a religious world that is hostile to homosexuals. Perhaps sharing his journey through the eyes, and mind, of a confused child dealing with a same-sex attraction will give some insight into the pain and difficulty of navigating these two worlds.

George would eventually spend 25 years immersed in the homosexual lifestyle (mostly in the Los Angeles club scene) and shares the pitfalls of that life. His story is not about glamorizing a life he once lived. This is merely his journey and what he learned along the way. Deliverance from that bondage is possible. There is hope in Christ!

George is a frequent speaker at churches and conferences, has appeared on numerous television and radio broadcasts, and contributed quotes to online articles for LifeSite News, Christian Life Magazine, Tennessee Conservative News, and The Christian Post.

Editorial Reviews

This book is so entertaining being able to get insight on the struggles of dealing with a same sex attraction and his personal stories of the pain and searching to be loved. God eventually got a hold of George and never gave up on him. The transparency and candidness of his writing touched me. I love how he shares how to be set free sharing the Gospel message at the end of the book. Truly a must have book for all, and one to share with those living this lifestyle. To God be the glory!

I'm a Christian and to be honest with you, I wasn't terribly educated about the gay culture and lifestyle. I saw a video of George on YouTube and was compelled to read his book. His testimony educated me as to the difficulties that gay men/women face when you leave that lifestyle, embrace God, and repent. It can seem so simple to someone not dealing with these issues but it isn't. I admire George greatly for doing what most gay men and women will never do, leave the sin and run to the Lord.

This book made a huge difference in my life. I left the gay world after 22 years. The life experience and stories shared are the same for me and thousands of other gay men. The homosexual cycle of self-destruction and repeated rejection is the same across the world. This book shares an amazing truth every single gay person will face in the end. The older they get, the more aware they will become of their own mortality and that final day of Judgment with Jesus Christ.

Goodreads - Phillip Moolman

The author's ability to take us on his personal journey through his life of torment to victory was amazing. It made me realize that as a Christian I didn't think about how the church does not provide sources to help people like him who are struggling. He was brave to be so candid and outspoken with his entire life story. When others say well I was born this way I can't change, I'll be able to direct them to this book as a source. Just so thankful for Mr. Carneal.
