★ Gold Medal Winner of the 2026 Illumination Christian Book Award-honored for literary excellence, emotional depth, and transformative storytelling.'Why would God condemn me for something I didn’t choose and couldn’t change?'Raised in the rural Deep South - poor, abused by a mentally ill mother - John Wilson found refuge in a fire-and-brimstone Pentecostal church that promised salvation and demanded absolute obedience, where safety came through conformity. He became the man they needed him to be.A pastor.A husband.A father.He was also a gay man living a life that was never his own.When tragedy struck and the truth surfaced, it cost him everything: his marriage, his ministry, his community, and even the God he believed demanded his sacrifice.What followed was not a fall from grace, but a reckoning-an unmaking of shame and a search for a faith that could survive honesty.At its heart, this is a love story between a father and his daughters - a man fighting to stay in their lives, discovering grace beyond the walls of religion and a love that no longer requires hiding.Harrowing, hopeful, and deeply human, Straight to Hell is an award-winning memoir of faith deconstruction, religious trauma, and LGBTQ identity-for anyone who had to lose their salvation to find their soul.For readers of Boy Erased and Educated, this is not just a story of loss.It is the cost of telling the truth-and the life that becomes possible when you finally do.Now a clinical psychologist, John returns to the ruins to make meaning of what was lost and to help others reclaim what was taken.
