“The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert” by Rosaria Butterfield
Description:
A highly personal memoir chronicling Butterfield’s journey from her former life as a lesbian (teaching queer theory as a feminist English professor at a secular university) to becoming a disciple of Jesus. Her repentance came slowly as her life was transformed by the patient faithfulness of a local pastor and his wife. Butterfield exposes the hollow promises of the sexual revolution and her own intellectual pride. Butterfield emphasizes the importance of friendship, patience, prayer and hospitality in the long process of conversion. Note: Non-Lutheran resource that may or may not reflect confessional Lutheran views on all points but is commendable with respect to the topic.
