Michael and the Multicoloured Gospel: 1 (Michael Farril Trilogy)

Michael Farril is born in the outer western suburbs of Sydney into a good Protestant Bible-believing family. He is a good boy and a model of what a good Christian should be. But Michael has a secret - he is gay.Michael believes that he cannot be both a Christian and a homosexual and so his quest is to find a cure for his homosexuality. During his search he meets different people along the way who create a great impact on his thinking: Ruth his Catholic girlfriend at school Troy a classmate who Michael falls in love with Joseph a Jewish friend from university Rosemary a friend from Michaels church who later becomes a Mormon and Markus a workmate and for a time Michaels lover.During his quest Michael learns the original languages of the Bible and tries to understand this book within its historical setting. This leads Michael to unwittingly stumble across literature predating the New Testament which not only greatly influenced the formation of the Bible but was inspired by a great historical figure who like Michael was gay. This leads Michael to a new revelation which beautifully unites his sexuality and spirituality to form his own personal multicoloured gospel.
