THE BOOK

getting my story straight

A Personal Journey of Faith, Honesty and Hope in Christ

What happens when your faith, your understanding of yourself, and your sexuality seem to pull you in different directions?

In Getting My Story Straight, Derick Greyling opens the door to the good, the bad, and the ugly of his deeply personal journey; sharing the questions, struggles, temptations, discoveries, and moments where his faith in Jesus shaped the road ahead. With honesty, vulnerability, and a healthy dose of dry humour, Derick makes a difficult conversation relatable and accessible.

Written as the book Derick wished he could have read during his own struggle, this is both a personal testimony and a practical guide for those navigating same-sex attraction and faith – as well as those walking alongside someone who is.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Practical guidance for navigating faith and same-sex attraction
• Biblical principles for facing temptation and difficult moments
• Encouragement for finding hope, restoration, and newness in Christ

A candid, compassionate, faith-filled must-read for anyone seeking answers, hope, and a deeper understanding of Jesus.

"I have never read something this honest from a Christian author. Derick doesn't dodge the hard questions, and he never lets go of Jesus. I finished it in two sittings and have already bought a second copy for a friend."
