| 520 | 0 | |a "Until Christmas Eve 1991, Mel White was regarded by the leaders of the religious right as one of their most talented and productive supporters. He penned a major speech for Ollie North. He was hired by Simon Shuster to ghost write the autobiography of Jerry Falwell, flew in Pat Robertson's private jet, walked sandy beaches with Billy Graham. What these men didn't know was the Mel White -- evangelical minister, committed Christian, family man -- was gay. In this remarkable book, Mel White details his twenty-five years of being counseled, exorcised, electric-shocked, prayed for, and nearly driven to suicide because his church said homosexuality was wrong. But his salvation -- to be openly gay and Christian -- is more than a unique coming-out story. It is a chilling exposé that goes right into the secret meetings and hidden agendas of the religious right. Told by an eyewitness and sure to anger those Mel White once knew best, Stranger at the Gate is a warning about where the politics of hate may lead America . . . a brave book by a good man whose words can make us richer in spirit and much wiser too."--Provided by publisher. | |
