Tidbits of the making of, "Yes, I Married an Ex-Homosexual"

I was inspired to write the book after the release of my husband's book last year. At first, it was difficult because I was fearful to open up about such a delicate and sensitive part of my life. God used two close friends of mine to speak powerful words to me to push me to complete the project. As I wrote, the tears flowed and my heart ached. However, I reached the conclusion of writing book with tears of joy. It took me only a month to finish it. I am grateful that I am able to share it to others. This book is simply my story...a love story that only God could design.

In her new book, Twanna House, chronicles the dawn of her relationship with Florida’s Apostle Derian House and shares with us how she got to where she is today.

Somewhere between Heaven and Earth lies the divine intersection of two destinies. Boy meets girl? Girl rejects boy? Not in this case. Follow along as Twanna House leads us through the intimate pathways of her experience, as the love of her life unfolds. Was there any question this love was of the Lord? The answer came on their wedding day. Derian House and his wife, Twanna, along with countless others in the church, witnessed the Glory of God burst across

the room, confirming their union was holy, clean and ordained by God.

Twanna's story is unforgettable.
