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.

40 parts Complete Mature
TEEN ROMANCE Bay and Archie were inseparable, bound together by a friendship that had flourished since childhood. Now, as school seniors, their laughter echoed through familiar streets, a rhythm known only to them. They shared secrets beneath the sprawling oak tree in the park, dreams whispered late into the night, and countless adventures that painted their days with joy. But everything changed the moment 'she' entered their lives. With a radiant smile and a spark that lit up every room, she was magnetic, drawing their attention and shifting the dynamics of their unbreakable bond. Suddenly, the world they had known began to twist and turn, and the comfortable familiarity of their friendship felt threatened by the intoxicating allure of something new.

The Audacity of Grace: Jesus Atonement for All by Will88964
18 parts Complete
This book is a deep dive into the ocean of Christian theology, specifically focusing on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It's not just a rehash of old ideas, though. It takes a fresh look at the age-old question: did Jesus die for everyone, or just a select few? The author starts by laying a solid foundation, explaining the problem of sin and how it separates us from God. Then they introduce the Old Testament sacrificial system, showing how it foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. But the real meat of the book is its exploration of Jesus' life and work. The author unpacks the mind-blowing concept of the Incarnation - God becoming human - and shows how Jesus' sinless life and sacrificial death on the cross bridged the gap between us and God. And don't worry, it's not all just theological jargon. The author does a great job of explaining complex ideas in a clear and engaging way. They use vivid imagery and relatable examples to help us grasp the profound truths of the Atonement. The book also takes us on a fascinating tour through church history, showing how theologians throughout the ages have wrestled with the scope of the Atonement. It's a reminder that these questions aren't new; Christians have been grappling with them for centuries. But the book doesn't just leave us with head knowledge. It also explores the practical implications of the Atonement for our lives and for the mission of the Church. It challenges us to live in light of the cross, to extend forgiveness, to pursue social justice, and to share the good news of God's love with the world. In short, this book is an invitation to rediscover the heart of the Christian faith, to be awed by the audacity of God's love, and to be transformed by the power of the cross. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the Atonement and its implications for our lives and our world.

*****-"I've told you I'm not good for you." -he whispered still kissing her, lifting her so that her legs were already around his waist, now bringing them both back to the bed, laying on top of her proceeding to kiss her like it was the only thing he ever wanted to do in his life. But she responded with the same passion, every kiss, every touch, now taking off his shirt and unzipping his pants. She wasn't thinking. She surrendered. .... -"Fuck you Emma for doing this to me." -he whispered hearing her painful moan once he was inside of her. He felt cheated but he couldn't stop.***** This is a story about Andrew Smith, a 17-year old highschool student who is known not only as the school's bad boy but also a criminal and gangster with troubled life. His only goal is to move out of his home that he shares with his always drunk stepfather Bill and take his little sister with him. But once he meets Emma Garcia, straight A's popular but innocent girl from his school, the question is, will his plan change? This is a spin-off story from "Now You Are Mine" involving the backstory of a "Drew" character. Even though this story is connected to NYAM, you don't have to read both of them. Parts of those two stories do intervene and they share the same timeline. I suggest you read them both, but again it's not crucial for understanding each one of them. Also, the story is not suitable for those younger than 18 since it includes mature scenes of sex, violence, abuse etc., which are not by any means condoned by the author. With that said, thank you for reading and I hope you'll enjoy it! ps. I'm updating often.

Not every blonde is stupid. In the South if you're a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed girl high expectations are made. Either you're not extremely smart, so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. Or you are smart and you just pretend to be dumb so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. All her life Avery Skinner has been told what to do and how to do it- by everyone. By her mother, the girls she calls friends, the guys in school, teachers, family, even Mark the mailman. Needless to say, she's sick of it. Its time Avery took control of her life or at least get a firm grip on the sucker. She's loved football ever since she was a little girl. Yet she could never play because ladies aren't supposed to do such barbaric things. Especially in the South- unless its a rodeo and you're wearing those ridiculously tight outfits that show you're navel or showing you can hold your liquor. Avery has longed to be on the field, throwing the ball instead of cheering on the team her dad coaches that can't seem to win. Then her best friend Austin forces Avery to and for sometime everyone is fooled. But the truth can only be hidden for so long. The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed. It hasn't been easy and it won't get any better but Avery is here to play. * Avery is going to face REAL life problems, and not nice people. She's going to deal with sexual harassment, mean words, rude people, pregnancy, injuries, steroids, etc.. In this story I want to exemplify how sexist and cruel humans can be. There will be hard moments, but I want to put it out there because it IS a serious problem. Harsh language and such will be present. You have been warned, don't read it then complain.

"No, this is not one of those fucking stories where you save me and we have anal sex in the end." Timothy laughed. "It's not? Bummer." Alright listen, I'm not gay. Just because I occasionally peek at the class homo in eyeliner and occasionally think about him in the shower and occasionally randomly touch his hair does not mean I'm gay. I'm captain of the football team, I'm hot as fuck and I can get any girl I want. So why would I choose him? WHY?! Josh the homophobic jock falls for a sensitive emo boy.
