AN ELLE MAGAZINE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR AN O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE MUST-READ LGBTQ BOOK OF THE YEAR AN ELECTRIC LIT BEST SHORT STORY COLLECTION OF THE YEAR A GRINDR QUEER BOOK OF THE YEAR A THE ADVOCATE LGBT+ Book You Absolutely Need to Read "Riveting… Every lie reveals itself so exquisitely that the parallels become an added pleasure, as soon as we uncover the ways they diverge." —New York Times Book Review "Dazzling. Here is a confident, psychologically astute new writer with a bold new vision." —Garrard Conley, New York Times bestselling author of Boy Erased Throughout this striking debut collection we meet characters who have lied, who have sometimes created elaborate falsehoods, and who now must cope with the way that those deceptions eat at the very fabric of their lives and relationships. In the title story, the narrator, desperate to save a love affair on the rocks, hires an actor to play a friend he invented in order to seem less lonely, after his boyfriend catches on to his compulsion for lying and demands to know this friend is real; in "Aim for the Heart," a man's lies about a hunting habit leave him with an unexpected deer carcass and the need to parse unsettling high school memories; in "Rorschach," a theater producer runs a show in which death row inmates are crucified in an on-stage rendering of the New Testament, while being haunted daily by an unrequited love and nightly by ghosts of his own creation. In I Know You Know Who I Am, Kispert deftly explores deception and performance, the uneasiness of reconciling a queer identity with the wider world, and creates a sympathetic, often darkly humorous, portrait of characters searching for paths to intimacy.

I Am Peter is the story of Peter, the disciple and apostle, as told by Peter himself. I invite you to walk with Peter or perhaps just listen as he speaks to you about the segment of his life from the time he met Jesus through Pentecost in Jerusalem. Peter talks about learning to know Jesus, being called the “Rock,” walking on water, denying Jesus, the resurrection, and Pentecost. He talks about his doubts, fears, frustrations, joy, guilt, observations, reactions, relationships, and fishing. As you listen to Peter tell his story, you have the opportunity to walk in his shoes and think about what he said or did and imagine what you might have done. Just remember that you are a Jew two thousand years ago and have no knowledge of anything you know today. You have personal contact with Jesus and His teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection. The book is fictional as to Peter’s thoughts and reactions, but the things that occur are based on the Holy Bible with actual quotes and references. Peter as a person was an ordinary fisherman who enjoyed his work but over time became an extraordinary man. He was blunt, outspoken, and brash, but he also was curious, uncertain, and fearful to the point of denying Jesus. Through it all, Peter developed a great faith and passion to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Peter was touched by Jesus, and perhaps you will be touched in a different way after walking with Peter.

At age ten, Peter Mutabazi ran away from home. For five years he survived on the streets of Kampala, Uganda, a city of 1.5 million, until one man saw potential in him. This man not only supported Peter through school but also altered Peter's outlook in every possible way. Since then, Peter has served as a relief coordinator during the Rwandan genocide, worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross during the Sudan conflict, emigrated to the United States, fostered countless children, and become a single adoptive parent. He speaks seven languages and has traveled to more than one hundred countries as an international advocate for vulnerable children. Now I Am Known is Peter's inspiring true story. In it he reveals the transformational power of taking risks, learning to forgive, overcoming self-doubt, breaking negative patterns, and believing in a better future marked by hope and purpose. *** "God met Peter Mutabazi in the midst of his agony, and he will meet you in yours too."--Kyle Idleman, bestselling author of Not a Fan and One at a Time "Peter's astounding and unlikely true story proves that if you remain committed and give it your all, great things will happen."--Sanya Richards-Ross, Olympic gold medalist and founder of MommiNation "A must-read for anyone wondering whether they can actually make a difference in this world."--Kelly Slater, American pro surfer and world champion "One of the most redemptive stories you'll ever read."--Jedd Medefind, president of Christian Alliance for Orphans

Wearied by trial and persecution, an aging Apostle Peter awaits his execution in a Roman dungeon in Jerusalem. Like his Savior before him, he was arrested during the Passover feast days. He was apprehended with fellow Apostle James who was summarily executed by Herod Agrippa I. Peter is spared so that Agrippa may make a public spectacle of this successor to Jesus of Nazareth. Peter suffers alone until he is attended by a surprise guest--a Roman physician and scribe who calls himself Luke. It is Luke's mission to complete a narrative of the life of Christ. And so he is desperate for a personal interview with Christ's most eminent apostle. Assuming these to be the final moments of his life, he readily complies. The miraculous tale is well known to most, especially those to whom the Gospel has been preached. Peter's personal touch, however, fills in portions of the story that are as yet unwritten. His excursion is full of surprises. Meanwhile, a handful of praying disciples gathered at the family home of Peter's son by faith, John Mark, are pleading for his release. They and the readers of Acts 12 are not disappointed.
