Going Gay My Journey from Evangelical Christian to Self-Acceptance Love, Life and Meaning

Tim Rymel, an ordained evangelical minister, served as the Outreach Director for Love in Action, one of the oldest and most renowned ex-gay (reparative therapy) ministries in the world. During the 1990's, he and the ministry staff appeared on countless television and radio shows with their message of "Freedom from homosexuality through Jesus Christ." A "success story" of the ex-gay movement, Tim's world was shattered when his wife divorced him, and his world fell apart. In Going Gay, he shares his raw and painful journey of finding self-acceptance, and coming to terms with life and faith.

Biographies & Memoirs

Can you be a Christian and be gay? Tim Rymel spent nearly 20 years emphatically answering no to that question. Born into the fundamentalist, Pentecostal Christian faith, he went into the ministry at 15-years-old, pleading with God to make him straight.  His desperate journey led him into conversion therapy, where he went from participant to leader at what was once the world's oldest and leading ex-gay organization. He, and the prominent ministry staff, including John Paulk, John Smid, and other Exodus leaders, suddenly found themselves thrust into the national media spotlight at a time when the battle between the LGBT community and the evangelical church was heating up. God seemed to be answering Tim's prayers, until everything changed six years into his marriage. When his wife announced she was divorcing him, Tim spent the next six years in virtual isolation, rethinking everything he believed to be true, and what it meant to be a Christian. He never imagined where his journey would ultimately lead.   "'Going Gay' is a thought-provoking account of one man's journey to accept and understand himself. In a culture where faith and sexuality seem often to be at war, the stories of those caught in the crossfire are critically important." Justin Lee, author of Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays vs. Christians Debate

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN LIFE DOESN'T END UP THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO?
American evangelical Christianity is a uniquely American Phenomenon. Ingrained in culture and politics, fundamentalism ascribes to strict theological and political dogmas in ways that seldom mirror our vast human experiences. That's when people of faith find themselves caught in the crosshairs of belief and real life.
Rethinking Everything When Faith and Reality Don't Make Sense is a book for real people with real questions. An intellectual and emotional journey, readers discover the origins of their faith, and how we struggle to separate belief from reality in a world of fundamentalist absolutes. It addresses the feelings of anger, depression, and fear that often go with strict theological conformity we, or others, have placed on us. Rethinking Everything is a book about letting go, finding peace, and discovering your passion again.
