Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Alan on October 30, 2015

I seldom give a book less than 3 stars and do so only with great thought. This book is one that had some serious flaws on delivering it's tag line. It did not at all describe the "slavery of religion." Nor did it even try to describe what "grace" is. As the central theme, more energy should have exp......more

Goodreads review by Rob on July 10, 2019

Very few people know the impact Alan and Leslie Chambers have had on my life. I met Alan in 1999 when my wife and I began attending Calvary Assembly while on a hiatus trying to figure out if we still wanted to go into pastoral ministry following an early ministry experience that left us deeply wound......more
