Bringing Me Back to Me

Born into a Christian cult, Matthew was raised believing Satan is at war with Christians and God is at war with the Gays. Home-schooled with no sex-education, Matthew was terrified to discover he was attracted to men himself. The war had entered his own body.

For over ten years, Matthew tried everything to allow his God Side to destroy his Gay Side, culminating with an exorcism at St Thomas Philadelphia in a misguided attempt to remove the “demons associated with homosexuality.”

St Thomas Philadelphia church has always denied they performed dangerous exorcisms on gay people to turn them straight. Matthew Drapper throws open the church doors to reveal the scandalous secrets of spiritual abuse hidden behind enticing community, wild worship and devastating promises of miracles.
