In The Faith - A Chronicle of the Christian Faith

A compelling story of the hardship sometimes associated with following Christ.

bq. Michael Braithwaite says money woes are forcing him to switch from turkey to chicken this Thanksgiving, a year after a religious awakening prompted him to switch his porn shop to a Christian bookstore.

p. Business has slowed down tremendously since Braithwaite converted the store to a Christian Book Store. During the conversion process, Braithwaite burned $10,000 worth of sex-related literature and paraphenalia.

bq.. _”The problem is that some of the Christians are still waiting to see if my walk with the Lord is real or not,” he said Wednesday, yet another slow day at Mike’s Place (formerly known as Love World)._

Some churchgoing neighbors do frequent the store, including some of the same folks who once tried to prosecute Braithwaite. But he said more need to stop in.

Braithwaite, tears in his eyes, said he isn’t complaining. He said he’d rather eat a scrawny chicken with God’s blessing than a fat turkey without it.
