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."
To My Support Team - from Jordan
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
But the Lord saith unto Samuel, Look not on the countenance, or the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

What a year! Oprah Winfrey! Donny and Marie Osmond! And all children anticipating your second book as a writer who has challenges in reading, writing and spelling because of abuse in your infant years, but Heavenly Father has opened your life to explain to others what redemption is when the world tries to knock it out of you, including family members, church members, employers, professors, and that is the only reason Jordan Jantz holds to his minister, doctors and therapists and Jesus Christ because they will never steer him wrong. They never have. That is the only reason my friend Jordan is lives as a successful gay Christian man who is very in tune to sharing the truth of God's ability to redeem your life. And only God can redeem you life, Jordan says, nobody else has the ability.
