“In 2011, Christopher Yuan co-authored with his mother, Angela Yuan, a striking, transparent memoir entitled, Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son’s Journey to God, A Broken Mother’s Search for Hope. No memoir has impacted my life more personally.

“Dr. Christopher Yuan’s book, Out of a Far Country, has given our students an opportunity to see a world many know little about, but see it in a way with God’s grace at work. Sometimes it can be tough getting high school students to read their homework on time. With Out of Far Country, I have the opposite problem. Many students report they can’t put it down; one student read the whole book in the first weekend! To get a student excited about a book is good; to get them excited about a book that shows God’s grace at work is awesome.”
