Publisher's Description
Storming the Gate picks up the story forty years after the publication of Stranger at the Gate (1993). Mel and his husband, Gary Nixon, have founded Soulforce and recruited an army of volunteers to help end the lie. Their nonviolent protests made headlines across the nation. These are the heroic and sometimes hilarious stories of Mel, Gary, and their volunteers being harassed, arrested, tried, and jailed for doing battle with the lie and with the Catholic, Protestant, and Evangelical liars who know the truth but refused to tell it.

Foreword
“Mel White is a modern-day prophet. He stands, as he has been called to by the gospel, with the crucified of the earth.”
“What a life! This wonderful page-turner is the story of a hugely modest man who refuses to see himself as a hero—but most assuredly is. If you’re an atheist like me who hadn’t even known the difference between an evangelical and a fundamentalist, you will be no less moved and riveted by his journey.”
“Through laughter and tears, Mel White weaves an amazing story about growing older and wiser. He is learning what it means to grow old with grit and gratitude after a lifetime battling religious bigotry and spiritual violence. What a magnificent tale he spins, and what a gift it is!”
