Bought with a Price: A Gay Christian's Memoir from Porn Sets to Love
()
About this ebook
While doing gay porn, love was a foreign concept to Aaron, but after hearing the words, "Jesus loves you," he questioned everything. The porn industry promised to empower him, but Aaron wondered if he was actually being degraded and exploited. After seeking refuge in the Church, he found that many Christians do not include gay people, like himself, in their worship. Even if they did, many churches didn't have clear teachings on sexual morality, which left Aaron's past vulnerable to exploitation. While wrestling with his past and new faith, Aaron not only finds the strength to overcome trauma through God's power, but he also finds meaningful, romantic love. He now wields his testimony as a weapon against the enemy who once held him in bondage. This bold memoir offers a raw perspective on God's grace to enable all believers to walk in the victory to which they have been called.
