Through his continued scholarship, spiritual reflection, and untiring activism, McNeill has brought hope and affirmation to thousands of gay and lesbian Christians. Both Feet Firmly Planted in Midair is McNeill's autobiography.

The deceptive writings of a misled priest that is struggling to justify his sinful acts, and his unsubstantiated claims that homosexual acts are moral according to God's own Will. Although, some forms of homosexuality are part of God's glorious creation and add enormous benefits to His Kingdom, homosexuality is a cross that should be used for good not evil. Imagine the Lord's love and joy for an individual that renounces inherent fleshly desires in his name. A chaste homosexual is one of the greatest gifts one could offer to God. Something a heterosexual man or woman could never offer as a sacrifice to their maker. Mr. McNeill has thrown down his cross and potential gifts to this world for his own fleshly desires and to this day is trying to justify his own grievous sins. Mr. McNeill has striking similarities to Martin Luther. He has abandoned the one true church for one that accommodates his earthly needs. This book is only recommended for those strong in their faith, mind, and love for Christ that can identify when Mr. McNeill alters scripture and it's true interpretation to accommodate his sinful behavior.

Freedom, Glorious Freedom is the third volume in John McNeill's landmark trilogy on gay and lesbian spirituality. It deals with the presence of the Spirit of God, the Spirit of love in our daily experiences, and how to arrive at the glorious freedom of the children of God. McNeill shows how lesbian and gay Christians can achieve full spiritual maturity and self-acceptance. McNeill discusses freedom of conscience and discernment of spirits, ancient teachings of the Christian church that have a special urgency for lesbian and gay people who need to free themselves from all the homophobic authorities and deal with God on a direct and personal basis. The liberating process of coming out of the closet is seen as a spirit-filled effort to achieve the glory of God by becoming fully alive. McNeill offers a twelve-step spirituality as a spiritual process of liberation from all addictions in order to experience the love of God in its fullness. The epilogue expresses in detail a philosophical vision, looking both to the past and to the future, of how gay liberation fits into the Spirit-directed evolution of human history and its role in the ongoing struggle for human liberation.
