ABOUT THE BOOK…

Masturbation, pornography, and homosexuality are words Douglas rarely heard while growing up in church, but they were the topics that he was most concerned about, and consumed by. It’s often the secret sins that have the most power to destroy us. Douglas was seven years old when he realized he was attracted to the same sex. His raw and candid testimony dives into these taboo topics. Saved Equals Free chronicles the lived experience of one believer who, after encountering God’s relentless, passionate, and gentle pursuit, made the choice to be deliberate about living in the liberty in which God has called us to.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Ryan Joseph Allen's life was on a downward trajectory. As a child, he felt different from other kids and struggled to fit in. Even at a tender age he contemplated suicide. In his teenage years and as a young adult, he hid his true self and numbed his emotional turmoil with alcohol, drugs, and self-destructive behaviors. When he summoned the courage to share his secret and come out to a close friend, her response added another layer of self-hatred. How could he love and accept himself as a gay man when he was taught that God and the Church considered it wrong?
