Instead
of wholeheartedly focusing on making sense of his own
struggle with homosexuality prior to writing his first
book, Easter confesses in his upcoming, non-fictional
adventure - Love Lifted Me Because of the Church:
Why One Can NOT Be Gay & Christian - that his past,
zealous acts have endangered the lives of struggling
Christians everywhere.
"I've
caused the spiritual demise of perhaps tens of thousands
of my neighbors and close friends; or I've at least
placed in grave spiritual jeopardy their today's and
tomorrows," the author passionately repents from his
latest body of work.
Easter promises to guide readers on what he describes
as, "a non-fiction train ride into a 'whole-nuther'
reality."
Less than 5,000 copies of his first book sold domestically
and abroad. But Easter's ardent, public stance on being
- first a mature Christian then homosexual - made him
stand out as uniquely charismatic about the spiritual
validity of gay-Christian America.
"I
wasn't your garden variety, same-gender-loving man.
'Just leave me alone, but you can say what you want
about the people I care about.' Not by far," the ex-gay
minister admits.
Thousands received his message of pro-gay Christianity
by radio, through press releases, while on book tour,
at public speaking engagements during annual gay-pride
celebrations, and from written commentary easily accessible
from his website.
When asked what lead him to such a dramatic about-face
from his prior life the restored, Gospel minister placed
sole responsibility for his sudden change squarely at
the feet of the Christian faith.
"All
I can say is that inside me, the instant love cataclysmically
collided with wisdom a great separation took place -
me from homosexuality. In his second book, Easter continues
answering, "God did it! I was drawn back from perdition
by love's long-suffering and wisdom's seductive allure."
Easter also encourages other concerned Christian leaders
to become more publicly proactive in spreading less
division and more understanding of the spiritual implications
of same-gender attraction.
The author boldly admonishes in Love Lifted Me Because
of the Church, "Undeniably, loving the way God loves
remains key to guiding those we love back into the faith.
But still, it's time for the world to understanding
why one cannot be both gay and Christian."
