Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert

The author, formerly a college professor and radical gay and lesbian activist, is now a pastor's wife and children's advocate. Narrating her own work with skill, she describes her life-transforming acceptance of Christ and conversion to Christian principles. She gives a nuanced portrayal of the Reformed Presbyterian pastor who lovingly challenged her to examine her beliefs about God after he read a critique she'd written in support of homosexuals. As narrator, Butterfield maintains a consistent pace and pleasing tone as she delivers commentary on the Christian culture in general and homeschooling, of which she's now a strong advocate, in particular. Her account candidly reveals how her belief in Christ has changed her worldview and impacted her life. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
