In sharing his own story of being a committed believer who struggled with same sex attraction early in his life, author, husband, and father Alan Chambers will help you understand the issues from the inside. And as the former president of the largest ex-gay ministry, Alan knows all the arguments, the concerns, the scriptures, and the heartaches.

My Exodus encourages us to look for and affirm the image of God in everyone. It's a reminder that God is still at work and deeply loves his creation. And it's a book for everyone who wants to be welcoming and loving to all people without compromising their faith or their biblical theology.

Through personal and powerful stories and opening the scriptures, you will come to understand how to love all people and positively engage our culture in the red hot conversations and topics surrounding LGBT and the Church

Ultimately, My Exodus equips us all to be better and do better in God-honoring ways. By embracing the idea of loving well because we want to and not because we have to, we will find hope for ourselves, for the Church, and for our world.

      Despite the shocking subtitle, Chambers, former president of ex-gay ministry Exodus International, does not recount a transition away from Christianity in this cautious memoir. Rather, he tells the story of his earliest introduction to ex-gay ministries as he struggled with his own attractions to other men. Eventually, he marries a woman and comes to head Exodus, until he ceases its operations under pressures both from former participants alleging damage and from more conservative Christians who oppose Chambers’s rhetorical shift away from curing homosexuality and toward a more expansive, grace-focused Christianity. This memoir offers little on Chambers’s childhood, and tales of his non-professional life only appear to reflect on his work before and after Exodus. The scant moments of candor about his marriage or family life feel somewhat disjointed and do not offer a complete picture. A few chapters written by his wife appear in the middle but only serve to whet the appetite for hearing more of her side of the story. This memoir will appeal to those wanting to understand the demise of Exodus but will leave readers with questions about Chambers’s post-Exodus views.
