One can't identify with hope until one has experienced hopelessness. One can't love unconditionally unless one has been loved unconditionally. No one can feel accepted until they have first accepted.

Coming Out of the Closet to Discover Jesus is a heartfelt and courageous exploration of reconciling faith, sexuality, hope, and grace. In this book, Billye Graham Bowman shares her personal journey of finding her Christian identity as a homosexual person, overcoming pain, loss, and violence, and reconciling with God and faith. With compassion and honesty and through Bowman's life story, the book examines the struggles and questions of her life and tells a beautiful and inspiring tale of hope, forgiveness, and the love and grace of God in the face of abuse, confusion, and the distractions of the world.
