Son of a Bishop: My Testimony
by Samuel Marcus Brown
Son of a Bishop tells the emotionally powerful personal story of Samuel Marcus Brown’s childhood and how he overcame the shame of his sexual orientation in a deeply religious family. Samuel was very much aware that he was different from his siblings from an early age. As he became older, he began to question his own sexuality. With his strict upbringing in the church, he worried about it constantly. Throughout his life, he began to accept his sexuality. He began to question whether or not Christians should continue their disapproval of homosexuals.
Although he has come to terms with his sexuality, he continues to search for God and use the Bible in order to find answers in his life. It is his intent to write in truthful and relatable language and hopefully his openness allows the reader to gain a better understanding of his life and the life of others.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Samuel Marcus Brown was raised in a very traditional religious family, and his parents are leaders in the Church of God In Christ organization. Samuel has always loved the Lord and the church, and he has always had a heart to worship and please the Lord. After years of feeling personally bashed by the traditional organized church, he still continues to fellowship with the “saints.” He was finally forced to rely on his strong convictions that his mentor Jesus Christ loved and accepted him just the way he was made by God. Although he really tried, he could never receive the message from the traditional organized church that he would be “damned to hell” that he was “not in the Lord’s will” due to the authenticity of his innermost reality.
Samuel resides in Atlanta, Georgia where he attended Morehouse College.
(2006, paperback, 52 pages)
