George Carneal, author of “From Queer To Christ,” was raised by a Southern Baptist minister in the ultra-conservative Bible Belt.  For years he struggled with his Christian faith, and a same-sex attraction.  George shares his painful journey through a secular world at odds with homosexuality, in addition to a religious world that is hostile to homosexuals.  Perhaps sharing his journey through the eyes, and mind, of a confused child dealing with a same-sex attraction will give some insight into the pain and difficulty of navigating these two worlds.

George would eventually spend 25 years immersed in the homosexual lifestyle (mostly in the Los Angeles club scene) and shares the pitfalls of that life.  His story is not about glamorizing a life he once lived.  This is merely his journey and what he learned along the way.  Deliverance from that bondage is possible.  There is hope in Christ!

George is a frequent speaker at churches and conferences, and has worked with pastors and parents seeking guidance on how to address this issue with their loved ones.  George also works with LGBTQ individuals who want out of that life.

George has also appeared on the following television, radio broadcasts, and podcasts:

One America News – In Focus w/ Alison Steinberg, The Stew Peters Show The Eric Metaxas Show, The Millstone Report w/Paul Harrell, The Christian Television Network – Homekeepers Program, World Net Daily w/Greg Corombos.  InterMountain Christian News w/White House Journalist, Dr. Anthony Harper Stand In The Gap Today (American Pastors Network) w/Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett & Gary Dull, Janet Mefferd Live, The Sentinel Report w/Alex Newman, Conservations That Matter w/Alex Newman, CBN News/Global Lane News w/Gary Lane (Christian Broadcasting Network)
