Come Unto Me

Out of the Silence

Hope. Healing. A path home.

A book for LGBTQ+ Latter-day Saints & those who love them

The journal of a gay Latter-day Saint man rediscovering faith through a direct relationship with his Savior. Built around the “Dear Forrest” letter and a twelve-step healing process, it dismantles shame and reframes the theology of belonging. Christ’s love is not conditional, and you are not broken.
