Stepping Out in Faith

   (6 reviews)
Genres: Romance
Sub-genres: Contemporary Romance

Andy is a deeply closeted priest who has lived his life denying his sexuality. But after a rogue night with Marcus, indulging in long buried temptations, Andy can no longer ignore the truth about who he is. Can he come to terms with his sexuality without abandoning his faith? Will Marcus stick around while Andy learns what it means to be a gay Catholic?

Warning: This story contains sex scenes between two men that are explicit and graphic. The story also contains a heavy religious element. Readers who find either of these uncomfortable are advised to proceed with caution.

Stepping out in Faith, is a wonderful story. It is the coming out journey of a gay Catholic priest. It is sensitively written and had me laughing, sighing and crying. 

Hudson Bartholomew got it just right. That empathy for one struggling with faith and sexuality, a struggle many of us have experienced. 

A fabulous read.

This is a story that should be on everyone's reading list. The writing is wonderful. Funny in parts, heartbreaking in others as two men struggle with themselves and allowing themselves not to lie to themselves and love. great job Hudson!

One of my favorite stories, it has really touched me... Every chapter is beautiful, as is every encounter between the two main characters. Not ashamed to say it made me cry A LOT! :heart: I recommend this to all romantics out there!
