Subtitle: “Gender Identities: Understanding the Diverse Experiences of Today’s Youth”
by Mark A. Yarhouse and Julia Sandusky | Print, 256 pg.
Review by made. known.
Through countless hours of work and research, the authors bring to light the lived experiences of individuals whose gender identity is a challenge in their lives. The discussion around the cultural narrative, language, and controversies helps Christians see the reality of the world of gender differences as people experience it. This is helpful to the dialogue that can then take place between individuals, in families, and throughout the church. The authors provide relational direction and thoughts about engagement that direct us back to seeing others as God sees them and reducing fear in the misunderstandings. This book has become, and will continue to be, a valuable resource to anyone willing to wrestle with genderism topics and, specifically, individuals who love someone whose gender identity is a challenge to their mental wellbeing and their faith.
