If you were raised in evangelical Christianity and taught to fear that who you are could damn you, this book is for you.
Straight to Hell is the true story of a Pentecostal pastor who spent decades suppressing his identity to survive-until the life he built on obedience finally collapsed.
John Wilson spent his life mastering the art of disappearing.
Raised in poverty and abuse in the fire-and-fury world of Pentecostalism, he learned early that desire could damn him and obedience might save him.
So he buried himself beneath a life built for survival. He became everything a godly man was supposed to be: a pastor, a husband, a father. A man shaped for approval.
But secrets this big don't stay buried.
When tragedy ruptures the life he's constructed, the truth he's spent decades suppressing erupts-shattering his faith, his marriage, and the only identity he's ever known. Cast out by the church he once served, John spirals into a darkness he isn't sure he wants to survive.
What follows is a raw, riveting journey through collapse and rebirth-an unlearning of fear, a dismantling of shame, and the sacred work of building a life that finally belongs to him.
It's the story of a father fighting to stay connected to his daughters, of discovering grace outside the walls of religion, and of finding love that doesn't require hiding.
Harrowing, hopeful, and deeply human, Straight to Hell is for anyone who has lost their world-and dared to build a truer one.
For fans of Boy Erased, Educated, and This Is How It Always Is, this memoir&nbs

Über den Autor
John Wesley Wilson, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist, award-winning author, and former Evangelical pastor whose work confronts the cost of belonging when it requires self-erasure.Raised in poverty and abuse in the Deep South, he found refuge in Pentecostal Christianity-until his sexual orientation emerged and faith demanded denial. Believing obedience would bring healing, he married, became a father, and entered the ministry, preaching against the very truth he was [...] decades of repression, his inner world collapsed, becoming the catalyst for a painful-and ultimately liberating-awakening.Blending psychological insight with lived experience, John now helps others recover from religious trauma, identity shame, and spiritual abuse. His award-winning memoir, Straight to Hell, offers a searing and compassionate account of what happens when faith and truth collide-and the freedom that [...] lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he maintains a private therapy practice and continues to write and speak on faith deconstruction and psychological healing.
