Warren Stone, the author, fell through the ice on Lake Agnew, Ontario in the dead of winter, trapping him in an icy prison with water penetrating his clothing and gradually pulling him down. As his face slipped under the surface, he extended his right hand upward and shrieked, "God, help me!" Though Warren expected to see Jesus take his hand and pull him to safety, he saw only snow against the darkened sky. He resigned himself to the fact he would drown in a moment, then blanked out.

All I ever wanted was a love like my parents had—something deep, irrevocable, and all-consuming. The kind of love that’s written about in stories. And I thought I found it with Lucas, my fiancé. We had it all: the house, the cat, and the promise of a future full of possibilities. Until everything fell apart. I discovered his secret. Heartbroken and betrayed, I convinced myself that I’d never find anything like what Lucas and I shared. He was my everything. Then one night, I ran into his younger brother, James. He’s a musician—complicated, intense, and nothing like Lucas.

In this book I explain how God took a kid from the ghetto and transformed him into a soldier for Christ. How to walk with God, follow Jesus Christ, and live empowered by His Holy Spirit. Know God, be transformed, and live empowered.

Fair warning: Raised in Captivity does not slot into a smooth preexisting groove. If Saul Steinberg and Italo Calvino had adopted a child from a Romanian orphanage and raised him on Gary Larsen and Thomas Bernhard, he would still be nothing like Chuck Klosterman. They might be good company, though. Funny, wise and weird in equal measure, Raised in Captivity bids fair to be one of the most original and exciting story collections in recent memory, a fever graph of our deepest unvoiced hopes, fears and preoccupations.
