AJ Benjamin holds an MA in Counseling with a concentration in Christian Counseling from Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio. He has been a public high school English teacher for 19 years and an adjunct college professor for 13 years. He is also an active member of his parish where he runs a successful men's ministry. In his spare time, he maintains a website that ministers to men with same-sex attraction, thesilentknight.net. The great joy of his life, however, is being married to his wife of 16 years and being a father to three wonderful children.
"A moving first-person testimony to the truth about the human
person and sexuality, the pain and confusion of wounded
masculinity, and the extraordinary power of God's grace to bring
healing, transformation, and peace. Blending honesty, insight, and
thanksgiving to God, AJ Benjamin offers a compelling travelogue of
a trek from death to life guided at every turn by Our Lord and Our
Lady. Like a modern-day Confessions of Saint Augustine, When the
Son Frees You bears profound witness to the struggles and beauty of
real, lasting conversion." Dr. Michael Hahn, Assistant Professor of
Sacred Scripture, Mount Saint Mary's Seminary, Emmitsburg, MD
"This book is like no other story you'll read anywhere, and yet it
should be as common as bread. A. J. Benjamin testifies to the
possibility of healing in Jesus Christ. This is supposed to be our
master story, and yet we've abandoned it. A. J. Benjamin speaks a
powerful, countercultural message most needed in the world today."
Mike Aquilina, EWTN host and author of many books, including The
Healing Imperative
