"Unforgettable. This book will stay with me the rest of my life." Amazon reviewer Andreams You can’t turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper without seeing "gay" in a headline: from the simmering showdown over religious freedom and gay conversion therapy, to bullied gay teens tragically taking their own lives, to churches splitting right down the middle over gay rights. Few social issues ignite such passion from all sides. For those who see homosexuality as a choice and a sin, the notion of gay marriage is intolerable. For those who are gay, being excluded and shamed is simply intolerant. Bryan Christopher’s life has been spent straddling this great divide. As a boy raised under the blinding Friday Night Lights of the Texas Bible belt, from the playground to the pulpit one message was consistent: “queers” deserved to be smeared. And at the dawn of puberty, a 13-year-old Bryan knew he was in trouble: he was staring limply at the pages of his dad’s Playboy. That's when the hiding began. And in his neck of the Southern Baptist woods, it left him with one viable option: change. "Hiding from Myself: A Memoir" chronicles his zealous and unconventional crusade: from ringing doorbells for Jesus in the Castro of San Francisco to sorting through Hugh Hefner’s dirty laundry as a butler at the Playboy Mansion; from drowning in the beer-soaked trenches of his UCLA fraternity house to plunging headfirst into evangelical Christianity and "ex-gay" conversion therapy. With this raw and moving testimony, the author offers healing and a fresh perspective on perhaps the most divisive cultural issue of our time. Bryan's story is not a "gay" story or even an "ex-gay" story; his is a human story—a testament to the innate universal need for love. And the things that can sometimes get in the way...

Being Light: A Guide to Living in Multidimensional Realities is a compilation of material I have trans-channeled throughout my life. The main purpose of the book is to reveal and affirm our origin as light beings and explain each step of our soul and spirit journeys into the bodies we occupy and then transcend at death, providing a better perspective on why we know things beyond what we have been told or programmed to think, such as why we can sense a soul mate or a personal destiny. The book also seeks to clarify how light energy is a repository of information for humankind and how we can trans-channel it to guide our lives. Trans-channeling is the act of using the light energy flowing through us as information; when trans-channeling, we bypass the brain and become immediately linked to our spirits for guidance.
Further, the book illuminates human evolution from the perspective of our origin as light beings rather than our viewpoint as human beings. Trans-channeling light energy for human evolution reveals how it progresses as consciousness through various realities and levels to eventually enter physical reality. Knowing about light energy helps us gain the ability to use it as information to both validate our existence as light beings in form and also make more discerning choices in our lives.
Another purpose of this book is to demonstrate that human beings possess greater power to make choices in their lives than we may have previously realized. Sections explain how, as light beings, we choose our own realities long before progressing into human form. In effect, we write our parts into our own scripts coming in, and during our lives we play these parts to the best of our ability, making decisions guided by our spirits in much the same way that actors are guided by directors to achieve their best performances.
This book is also a useful guide for understanding our transformation from light energy to form to formlessness, as well as the types of choices our spirits choreograph for us along the way. Such choices and how they play out in physical reality make us unique and give us accountability. Accountability involves accepting responsibility for our lives knowing we chose our bodies, our parents, and our birth circumstances. Realizing that we made these choices can initiate an enormous shift in consciousness, further improving our decision making.
Ultimately, Being Light is a guide for living in the multidimensional realities of light and body, and thus living in the most beneficial way possible. Each of us originates from the same source of light energy, and thus we can all trans-channel light energy to obtain information for beneficial use in our daily lives, although some people, like myself, tap into it more readily and comprehensively than others.
