<div>&ldquo;Compelling&hellip;eloquent and compassionate&hellip;We learn as much about growing up in the Christian right as we do about gay life in Mel White&rsquo;s heartfelt and revealing memoir.&rdquo; &#8212;San Francisco Examiner Until Christmas Eve 1991, Mel White was regarded by the leaders of the religious right as one of their most talented and productive supporters. He penned the speeches of Oliver North. He was a ghostwriter for Jerry Falwell, worked with Jim Bakker, flew in Pat Robertson&rsquo;s private jet, walked sandy beaches with Billy Graham. What these men didn&rsquo;t know was that Mel White&#8212;evangelical minister, committed Christian, family man&#8212;was gay. &ldquo;An engrossing journey to unite sexuality with faith&rdquo; (Dallas Morning News), Stranger at the Gate details Mel White&rsquo;s twenty-five years of being counseled, exorcised, electric-shocked, prayed for, and nearly driven to suicide because his church said homosexuality was wrong. But his salvation&#8212;to be openly gay and Christian&#8212;is more than a unique coming-out story. It is a chilling expos&#233; that goes right into the secret meetings and hidden agendas of the religious right. Told by an eyewitness and sure to anger those Mel White once knew best, Stranger at the Gate is a warning about where the politics of hate may lead America&hellip;an important book by a brave man whose words can make us both richer in spirit and much wiser too.</div>
