Customer Reviews

wanted the first edition

There are 2 editions of this book, I wanted the first edition but goofed up and ordered the second edition. The seller shipped fast. I just ordered wrong. My name is Seth and my mom co wrote this book. Our family is mentioned in the first edition but was removed from the second edition for some reason.

Very Interesting Book

This book is well written and I found it to be enlightening especially regarding the facts it reveals from the history of the Mormon church. Mr. Feliz is one of the few who was given access to the church history records that are locked away from public viewing. This is a highly sensitive topic but I respect Antonio Feliz for speaking with his heart and forsaking being forced to live as a hypocrite. He can finally be true to himself and is free to live his life as he chooses.

Controversial because this author tells it like it is.

The accurate portrayal of the honest experiences of a gay man who discovers his true sexuality when he was employed by his church's headquarters office. Although he reports some unpleasant facts about his conflicts in living, this story has the ring of truth. While, no one but the author can attest to the supernatural experiences he reports, this has always been the case with true mystics. The universe holds no secrets and this book is only one way that truth is coming to light. The author ends the story by telling of how he learned to forgive an abusive partriarchal hierarchy and, go on with his life liberated from the lies of his past. The first chapter has been published in award-winning anthologies, including: Wrestling With The Angel and Searching For Your Soul.

Read it from cover to cover!

I am an active member of the LDS (Mormon) Church and I found great comfort in reading this book a few years back. Many Church members will automatically disregard what this man has said. But most of that is because they don't want to look past their own fears. Look past your own fears and read this book from cover to cover.
