 About the book:
 
After living a life of abuse, abandonment and homosexuality, Jordan Jantz made the ultimate choice. Leaving his old life behind, Jordan came to know and understand God's love for him, as well as discover his own part in the eternal plan.


But this book isn't just about his Christian conversion and lifestyle change, it is also about all the things he suffered that helped to bring him to this point. It's about everything he was, everything he is, and everything he is on his way to becoming.
Simply put, this is the story of his journey from the painful, cold darkness into the light.

A portion of the proceeds from Out of the Closet Into the Light will be donated to The Christmas Box International to support abused and neglected children.


"Out of the Closet Into the Light is a no punches pulled true story of a man who overcame years of childhood abuse, neglect and adversity that fortunately few ever experience.  Although not a comfortable read in the beginning it will open the eyes of many to the reality of what some children suffer at the hands of those who should be loving and nurturing to them. Survivors of the “holocaust” have said the one thing that got them through that tragedy was hope – hope that one day life would get better for them. This is a book about hope.  It is a “must read” for those who have been victims of child abuse and also mental health professionals, clergy and anyone who wants to be accepting, understanding and helpful to those who have so suffered. I have known Jordan personally for seven years and witnessed first-hand the joyful transformation he has made by allowing the healing power of the Savior to work in his life." - Ron Boss

As a former Child Abuse detective for the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office in Portland, Oregon I have witnessed over and over the devastating effects of child abuse.  It's long term negative impact on victims is often a dark, hidden blot on individuals and society.  It's often generational in nature as well.  Jordan's courage to tell his story is a must read for anyone who wonders about the lives of those impacted by child abuse.  The scars run so deep they undoubtedly never fully heal and this makes Jordan's story all the more compelling.  The book gives one a perspective on the long term effects of child abuse that one rarely hears.  I applaud Jordan for his honesty and courage to tell his story. - Mel Hedgpeth
