Kenny Bracey

I am an enigma to many. I am gay, a child of God, a pastor in my church, the son of a Missionary Baptist preacher, part conservative, part liberal and very happy in my life.

I enjoy time with my husband, Ted and our friends and family.

My first book, "Running the Gauntlet" is basically about my life and my interaction with Jesus through the years.

With His help, I overcame a lot of trials, tribulations, confusion and doubt about who I am and who I was meant to be.

My desire is simply this; I wish people to understand what their words and actions can do to others as well as to themselves.

We live in a time where "words" have taken their toll on civility, patience, kindness for others and tolerance of differences. Hopefully, my book can help turn the tide and bring us back to who we are meant to be.
