Inspirational...

I have known Jonathan for 3 years. Mitzi Bible has helped to capture the true essence of this man. He exudes an aura of grace and peace and this work helps the reader to understand how he got to that place. This book is a quick read and it has pearls of wisdom for everyone. Whether you struggle with relationships, addiction, homosexuality, forgiveness, or spirituality, there is something to gain within the pages of this book. Jonathan's circumstances are amazing on so many levels. But his attitude through it all can only be described as inspired. He takes complete responsibility for his life. The fact that he takes no meds at all and looks absolutely healthy is a miracle. (He easily looks 10 years younger than his chronological age!) The fact that he decided to risk everything and go public with his past experiences and the consequences of those choices is also incredible. And the fact that he chooses God over the homosexual lifestyle (given his illness) has probably saved countless lives. His story is at times sad and gripping but always inspirational. I also find it commendable that every penny from the sale of this book will go to charity. This story is told to glorify God and for no other purpose... I feel privileged to know Jonathan and to have read his testimony.

My Secret Place

What an awesome book about God's grace and forgiveness! I read it the day I got it. I have known Jonathan since childhood, and it is amazing to read his testimony. It is about truly trusting God and believing His Word on a daily basis, something we all need to do. Jonathan's story has something for us all.
