He was told, far more loudly, that God condemned who he was. Only one of those ever felt true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaised in a conservative Christian home, he learned early that being gay wasn't just frowned on. It was a threat to his salvation. What followed were years of trying to hold together faith, desire, shame, and the fear of eternal punishment, all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor Everything a Season\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of that fight. Spanning nearly six decades, it follows Wes through addiction and recovery, love and loss, the family he was given and the stranger, tighter one he chose along the way, complete with its eccentric relatives, questionable decisions, one very evil dog, and a very rude parrot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's the part you might not expect: it's funny. Not because any of it was funny at the time, but because life is strange, people are ridiculous, and survival usually comes with a sense of humor. The book does not look away from the hard parts. It just refuses to be miserable about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a story about leaving God. It is a story about surviving one version of Him and finding another, one that looks a lot more like the words of Jesus than the ones he grew up hearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever been told you were broken, sinful, unworthy, or beyond saving, this book has one thing to say to you: the life waiting on the other side of that fear is fuller, and a lot funnier, than anything you can picture from inside it. It took Wes almost sixty years to believe he was enough. He'd like you to get there faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45819367587975,"sku":"9798997681302","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/TgQvg1flW99798997681302.webp?v=1788987038","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/for-everything-a-season-on-growing-up-queer-and-afraid-of-hell-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
