This is a wonderfully thoughtful and academic response to emerging gender identities, while also remaining compassionate and loving. This book is a much needed voice in the conversation for pastors and leaders within the American Church. As culture wars rage and fear drives response on both the left and the right, this book offers a way of thinking about complex issues affecting real people (particularly young people) that more fully aligns with scriptures command to love and not fear. This book practical and insightful drawing from their experiences working with gender minorities and those experiencing varying degrees of dysphoria, as well as from extensive research and biblical study.

While this isn’t the book written to those experiencing gender dysphoria or those wrestling with their gender identity, I would highly recommend anyone in Church ministry to read this. Particularly those who are leading youth, and parents of youth.
