About Out of the Closet Into the Light


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.

What Readers Are Saying
"This is a well written book about what one child suffered at the hands of those who should have loved and nurtured him. It makes me wonder how many children suffer in silence. The day we received the book from Amazon, I sat down and read it in two hours. I have purchased more books and have been sharing them with family and friends. I highly recommend this book for anyone to read. May the voices of the children be heard and may each of us reach out with an understanding heart to all of God's children.
J. Adams did an excellent job in writing the story of Jordan Jantz." 
"This book opens the door of a soul who has made the decision to turn from a early life of dark, self-destructive, behavior where his lifestyle is a series of bad choices and makes an astounding turn around in his physical and mental behavior to find meaning and redemption in his life as he seeks the help of the Savior to redefine his direction and purpose in life."

Special blessings to all my family and friends in the LGBT community, for stepping into my life at a young age and walking with me when everyone else walked out of my life. You will always be my shining star. It was your continued love that helped to bring me out of the closet and into the light of God's love.
My doctors, therapists, landlord, case managers, and clergy, people who are from all walks of life, have helped my life's work to this day. Without all of you I would be dead.

It is hard to have a desire to live when you have no one who believes in you. I can't tell you how much I have prayed for someone to take my hand and not let go. Because I am who I am, so many have questioned the journey I walk and questioned my worth. Everyone else let go of my hand, as well as the hope of me becoming the man God created me to be. So many times I was abandoned by people who called me their family. God sent all of you into my life as shepherds to encourage me with unconditional love. What you did for me, the least of these, you unknowingly did for God.

Someday there will be no more pain and we will all be together. Real love sets us free from judgments. I tank God for putting you all into my life. If not for the experiences I shared with you, this book wouldn't have been written. I know the disabilities I face daily are a struggle, but I also know you will never abandon me. Without your love I would be lost.
Cherish is the word that reminds me of you. Thank you for walking this painful journey with me.

Your brother,
Jordan Jantz

Jordan's Milestone

Today is the seventh anniversary of Jordan's life change and commitment to giving his life to Christ. I ponder every day how grateful I am to know Jordan and what a privilege it was to write his story. I'm grateful for his friendship, and that he entrusted me with something so important.
I'm grateful for the blessing of seeing how many lives he has touched with his story and the many miracles he is helping God bring to pass. It has indeed been an emotion-filled path we have walked together. I wouldn't trade that walk for anything.

Jordan has a fun-filled evening ahead of him. The Crystal Ball Room in Portland, Oregon is holding a celebration for Jordan, honoring his life, his faith and his legacy. Walking away from his past all those years ago, he could never have imagined what God had in store for him or the people who would place along his path - people God would use for their genuine compassion to care for Jordan and help uplift him the way he uplifts others.

Happy Anniversary, Jordan!!! You are loved more than you know:-)

Guess What Jordan Has Been Up To?

Jordan just spent a week in Las Vegas promoting Out of the Closet Into the Light and hanging out with a couple of pals:-)
And yes, Marie has read the book and was touched by Jordan's life and what he overcame to be the person he is today. You can't help but be affected by his story and the example he sets every day. He touches the life of every person he comes in contact with and helps to change them for the better.
Jordan has a genuine love for everyone and his countenance literally shines, drawing people in, making them want to know of the happiness he has found in giving his life to God.
