The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert
By: Rosaria Champagne Butterfield
The Pastor’s Monthly Book Selection – August, 2016
As a tenured professor, teaching English Literature and Women’s Studies, the author was also a committed lesbian and activist. So immersed in her lifestyle and worldview that she gave little credibility to the claims of Scripture, even considering Christianity to be dangerous. The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert chronicles the journey of Rosaria Champagne Butterfield from a skeptic and critic to a committed believer in Jesus Christ, pastor’s wife, and Christian mother. Throughout this small book I was reminded of God’s gracious love for lost sinners, the heinousness of my own transgressions, the power of Christ to change a person, and the need to honestly but lovingly bring the gospel to bear in the lives of people that have been deceived by sin and are in need of the liberty found in Christ.
I highly recommend this journey to faith for those struggling with sin or simply wishing to be reminded of the mighty grace of God through Jesus Christ.
