MASKquerade: A True Story of Unmasked Freedom is the incredible life story of author, songwriter, and international speaker, Danny Wallace. His journey began at 5 years old when he was brutally raped and beaten by his own father and continued to age 17. How could he have ever imagined the destiny God had for his life? You will be captivated by the journey and over-whelmed by the outcome of this inspiring story.
As you take Danny's hand across the pages from childhood abuse through homosexuality and even AIDS, Danny tastefully and transparently takes the reader from the horrors of his past to a place of freedom, inspiring hope in all who have ever experienced the shame of their own secrets that were far too dark to tell. The truths Danny unearths in MASKquerade are life changing.
Reading this book, I was struck by how amazing it is that God often uses our most painful experiences to bring Him glory. I have a brother that was molested by 2 different people while we were young; as a teenager and young adult I blamed myself for not protecting him, and over the years I've continued to struggle to relate to him. After reading Danny's book, I have newfound hope- for myself to know how to pray for and relate to my brother better, and for my brother to live in TRUE 100% freedom from those those that abused him. You owe it to yourself to read this book if you or someone you love desires to be emotionally free from past abuses suffered.
Danny Wallace has written a book exposing the Devil's setup for boys who will and have, become homosexual men. I read, then cried, then read some more, and read some more. It was too painful to digest all at once. I saw the hand of God upon Danny when he survived the first rape by his father. I could not imagine such a horrible and painful experience for a five year old child especially from someone who is supposed to love and protect him. Yet, I had to face it. I wanted to personally cause bodily harm on his father which doesn't show Christian forgiveness nor compassion. My feelings showed me that I am a work in progress in my Christian walk. You see, my only son was raped at the age of five or six and had lived behind a mask of homosexuality for forty years before he told me. His wife didn't have the same reaction and love that Lynn had because my son had deceived her by living on the down low. She tried to destroy him and his career but she can only go so far because my son is... More > anointed and a true worshipper of God. I am thankful that Danny's story will set many free. God is truly in this situation because what the enemy meant for Danny's harm, God meant it for his good by protecting and using him to liberate many others. By the blood of the Lamb, Danny nor my son will stricken with AIDS!< Less

Danny's story is the most amazing story of redemption that I have ever heard. This is a book that will be difficult for you to put down. You will experience a range of emotions from outrage to joy. Danny could easily have adapted the "victim" mindset and blamed all of his problems on his past. If anyone could be justified for doing such a thing it is Danny Wallace. But he doesn't! He is brutally honest about his role in the poor decision making that shaped the early years of his adult life. By taking ownership and bringing his problems into the light the grip that Satan had on him was broken. Danny’s story will show you that God can redeem any person, no matter how colorful the past, and that He can use your very own brokenness to minister to those around you. This is the very essence of the Christian life. Danny's story and beliefs are not popular in many circles (both secular and non-secular). I admire him greatly for having the courage to write this book, his life story,... More > and to make himself as vulnerable as he has. I can assure you that you will find healing from his testimony no matter what kind of upbringing or life experiences that you have had. I pray that Danny's testimony will help you to remove your very own "MASK" and receive the healing and restoration that our infinitely loving God desperately wants to give you.< Less
Danny Wallace's story has brought me to tears several times. His authenticity and ability to be transparent flows from the pages of MASKquerade. Not many are able to captivate the reader and listener's heart like Danny does. Anyone who struggles with hidden shame and disgrace will find deep fountains of freedom from this compelling story of forgiveness and deliverance. As you turn each page you will find yourself engrossed in the reality of Danny's painful past yet at the same time be gripped by the amazing grace of God. No other story I know paints a picture of how God can take someone's gruesome history and transform it into a glorious future. Once you pick up this book you will not be able to put it down. So, get ready for truth unhindered and reality unaltered. You will never be the same! Guaranteed!
