Book excerpt: Jacob was born into a Mormon family in the late 1950s. As he grew up, he quickly learned he wasn't wired the same way as others. He wondered why he was interested in being tied up and why he didn't have the same interest in girls as his male friends did. Convinced he was the only one in the world with these foreign feelings, he thought himself insane and kept his terrible secret hidden. He prayed every day that he could just be "normal." He served a mission with dedication and married in the Temple. He tried following the teachings of the Mormon Church, but he could not subdue his yearnings to be bound. Finally, he went to a therapist who told him he was gay. With the church's encouragement, Jacob subjected himself to "gay to straight" therapy, which ended in deep depression and trips to mental hospitals. His story is for all the men who suffer silently and urges turning guilt into acceptance, struggle into survival. ForeWord Clarion Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What gay man hasn't fantasized about hot sex with those repressed Mormon missionaries in their white shirts and conservative ties? But there's more to Mormon fantasy sex than curious young "elders." What about temple workers going at it in the baptismal font after hours? How about an ex-Mormon who throws a "pity party" (or "pity orgy") for men whose physical flaws prevent them from getting laid regularly? The ex-mo trapped by a snowstorm in an adult video store overnight? Or the one who offers "aid" to detectives investigating a shooting? And what collection of gay Mormon porn would be complete without an adventure involving the sexual practices the Three Nephites have perfected over two thousand years?

Book excerpt: As “Mormon royalty” within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Martha Beck was raised in a home frequented by the Church’s high elders in an existence framed by the strictest code of conduct. As an adult, she moved to the east coast, outside of her Mormon enclave for the first time in her life. When her son was born with Down syndrome, Martha and her husband left their graduate programs at Harvard to return to Utah, where they knew the supportive Mormon community would embrace them. But when she was hired to teach at Brigham Young University, Martha was troubled by the way the Church’s elders silenced dissidents and masked truths that contradicted its published beliefs. Most troubling of all, she was forced to face her history of sexual abuse by one of the Church’s most prominent authorities. The New York Times bestseller Leaving the Saints chronicles Martha’s decision to sever her relationship with the faith that had cradled her for so long and to confront and forgive the person who betrayed her so deeply. Leaving the Saints offers a rare glimpse inside one of the world’s most secretive religions while telling a profoundly moving story of personal courage, survival, and the transformative power of spirituality.

Book excerpt: What is it really like to be a young gay Mormon missionary, sent out to a foreign country at the age of 19, to convert people to a powerful church you have been raised in which has told you all your life that what you are in your heart is very wrong? This book describes that experience in full with rich personal detail. These are the complete personal journals of a 19 year old boy who went on his Mormon mission to Japan as a sincere believer in the LDS Church, having been taught this was what he must do and hoping God would cure him of his secret homosexuality because of the sacrifice he was making. It documents in detail how his faith in Mormonism completely collapsed half way through the mission experience, how he then happily and fully accepted being gay and somehow managed to survive the full two years because he felt he had to, while struggling to keep his homosexuality and loss of belief in Mormonism concealed. The book offers a huge amount of detail and insight on daily life as a Mormon missionary in Japan a few decades ago. It documents the gradual, step by step loss of religious belief and acceptance of self. This book is a story about crossing the bridge from boyhood to manhood. It is a story about learning to think for yourself. It is a story about a creative awakening, including all the poems and short stories written on the journey. It is a story about being who you are, not who you've been told you should be.
