{"product_id":"9781468920000","title":"Trapped No More: The True Exodus of an Ex-Gay","description":"I never choose to be gay. I never wanted to be gay. In fact, I made a conscious decision not to be gay at the age of eighteen when I embraced a newfound faith in God and embarked on a journey to nearly thirty countries, engaging in international development and Christian service. “Trapped No More” is my story how self-acceptance freed me from twenty-two years of self-hatred and institutionalized religion.  In addition to inner struggles, I also contended with external pressures like culture shock, contaminated food and water, homesickness, third world living conditions, and assorted dangers like the Tiananmen massacre as I risked my life, extending a loving hand to those in need around me. Long believing that is was my God-given duty to deny my true nature, I finally woke up one day to love and accept myself as an ex-ex-gay man.  Does the Bible condemn or condone homosexuality? Is it homoerotic or homophobic? What did Jesus say about homosexuality? Is homosexuality an abomination? Can a gay Christian lead a successful ministry? Is it ethical to demand gays to change? Are ex-gay ministries helpful or harmful? What about reparative therapy?  If you grapple with such questions, “Trapped No More” will shed a radically new light in response to the traditional answers, inspiring you to embrace your true self and resist “the Great Christian Travesty,” in which I too was once trapped.","brand":"Booktango","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144342782192,"sku":"9781468920000","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468920000_p0.jpg?v=1763696939","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468920000","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
