Cheyenne Mitchell grew up as an average Christian girl, in a strict Seventh Day Adventist family. But she ALSO lives a double life working as a pornstar, Cece Phoenix, fed into this life by a group of perverted, anti-religious rebels. Until the day comes that she gets caught in a horrific car crash and nearly dies. And when she wakes up, her spirit is pulled out from her body, and taken down to Hell where she is shown NO MERCY. 
But not all hope is lost, for after Cheyenne realizes what's happened, she is given a miraculous second chance by Christ. When she returns to her body, she's given a new beginning for her life, away from home with various NEW companions, including Albert Johnson, the church guitarist who saved her from the wreckage. 
She wants to know a few things: is it possible to start over? Can she conquer her past and escape? Did God allow everything to happen for a reason, and if so, why?
Because to the world, Cece Phoenix is dead. But even though it's Cheyenne Mitchell who still lives, her friends and family aren't aware, and the past still follows her....

And warning: this will contain very mature and sensitive topics, brief graphic violence, and swearing. The main character is an ex pornstar, but any sexual scenes are going to be kept as subtly and as brief as possible, not TOO explicit in details (with one future exception) 
Overall, this IS a story on Christian faith and redemption through God, but I won't pull too many punches. Not only are there A LOT of cliches and stereotypes in Christian stories and media, but also a lot of topics that tend to get ignored, such as pornographic topics. However, I believe that it IS important that we acknowledge them, and even more so, I believe it's important to HAVE stories involving Christian faith, that contain a sense of realism, like this one.
It'll be a long journey, but I hope you stick around. You won't regret it. Please comment, vote and share this with your friends, and may God bless you with this.

The A Team: A Novella by prettyoddGal
10 parts Complete Mature
I lost someone dear to me in the midst of the Heroin Epidemic hitting MA in the last 3 years that spurred me to write The A Team. It is a reference to Ed Sheeran's song. This story was my grieving process. Without it, I'd be in a maelstrom of emotions that I wouldn't know what to do with. Also, my favorite band, Fall Out Boy, has a physical copy of this story. I gave it to them this past summer at a Meet & Greet in Mansfield, MA for the Boys of Zummer tour. I'd probably bawl my eyes out if I ever hear that they read it, but I don't want to hold out too much hope. They are my second form of coping with anything, and their music gave me the drive to even write the novella. Here's the description: What does it mean to truly learn to love your life again? Rebellious, yet exceptionally intelligent, Eugenia "Janie" Cole, asks herself this every day. Its hard to do such a thing when life deals you a bad deck of cards. Addicted to pain killer, kicked out of her only home for abusing and stealing said pain killers, becoming homeless, and befriending a punk chick by the name of Nina Monroe; a music scene junkie who seems to be just as messed up as her. In the hidden back drop of Boston, Massachusetts, Janie goes in search of her spirituality through parties, drugs, and that one beautiful moment that will explain to her why darkness follows in her footsteps. Will she find it all on her own before her past comes back to haunt her?

Meters before impact dad finally caught on to what was about to happen, despite it being day the approaching vehicle's headlights blinded us as our cars breaks slammed on, the sound of the tires melting away as the rubber tires scraped against the pavement filled the air and the scent of burning rubber overwhelmed my nostrils, despite our efforts the brakes didn't slow us down, we were to late.

*ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE* I didn't need her in my life. I didn't want to drag her into my already fucked up reality but my selfish desires fucked everything up. She was so god damn sexy. So tempting, that soon what I didn't need, I wanted. ➽───────────────❥ Troublesome behaviour and not giving two fucks describe Brielle and Easton perfectly. They both have equally troubled pasts and don't let their guards down around anyone, not even their own friends. After being kicked out of her third school in five years, seventeen year old Brielle Taylor just about scrapes getting into college. It isn't the college of her choice, and is notorious for being in a bad part of town, but it's the only one that would accept her. This time she's adamant not to run into trouble but the universe has other plans... Easton Walker. He's a notorious bad boy, known for the trouble he attracts. No one has ever gotten too close to know too much about him. He only has two friends that he tends to hang around with, but even they don't know too much about him and that's the way Easton likes it. He didn't need anyone to come into his living hell, and he sure as hell didn't need the sassy seventeen year old girl to intervene in his lonely existence. But she just wouldn't leave him the fuck alone, and as much as he hated to admit it, he wanted her to stay. Easton soon realises he can't let Brielle go... ...But can two sinners make a right? ⚠️Warning! This book is completely mature. There are depictions of mature language, violence and sexual behaviour.

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud
25 parts Complete
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!

The Secret Struggle

36 parts Complete Mature

Promise is currently attending Bible college, but she has a problem. She is really addicted to pornography and erotica, and masturbates extremely frequently. She struggles to stop because of the school rules and her own conscience, but she just can't. One day she meets a boy and is invited to hang out with him and some of his friends who attend a Christian college not far away. As she hangs out with them she is introduced to the world she always fantasized about, but never had the courage to go into. She slowly gets pulled into some of their ways. How far will she go? Will she be able to keep up with school? Will she get kicked out? What does her future hold? Note: The chapters were originally written as censored and uncensored, because Wattpad had made them private, but they appeared to have changed those rules. However, I will be keeping a censored and uncensored version where all "offensive" words have * placed in them for any who might prefer to read writing as such.
