I called the book "Things Unseen," because from the outside I have lived a blessedly uneventful life. If a biographer was one day to write my life story, I think he would despair of how boring it was.

And yet on the inside - unseen, except by me and God - that same life has been a succession of miracles. I have met God and demons and creatures that were perhaps somewhere in between. God has sought me out and saved me and taught me things about himself and about me that I had never imagined.

Every Christian is called to witness what they have personally seen of the kindness and glory of the Lord. I hope this little memoir will be as encouraging to my fellow queer people as He has been to me.
