Agatha Sloane’s debut book, The Devil Disguised as a Jesus Loving Lesbian, tells her story through the character of Chloe.In a series of confessional letters to her beloved friend, Addie, she reveals an intense battle between the world she was born into and the world she wants to live in. Like most of us, all she wants is to be happy, and loved, and to feel a sense of belonging.Unfortunately, the realities of illness, financial deficit, oppression, and addiction squashed her innocent dreams before the age of ten, leaving her to question the truth about everything—especially love. She abandoned religious piety and desperately sought to discover who Jesus is and what it means for him to be the Son of God.Each letter exposes a deeper depth of struggle, uncovering the vulnerable and innate desires that inspired her to wander the turbulent paths masked as acceptance, justice, and love.Join the author as she examines how people are tempted to walk with the devil as they seek to be the gods of their own lives—and how we can find what is truth.
