Review by made. known.

If you are a parent wrestling with God, you are not alone.” This book expressly addresses the experiences of the parents of children who come out as LGBTQA+. The book comes from decades of research and provides the first resources written from the viewpoint of Christian parents. The framework of the effects on the parent and child relationships provides a structure and understanding of common challenges and a roadmap to navigate those challenges with grace and love for all parties. The encouragements included and the advice from parents who have walked in those shoes is heartfelt and helpful. Reading this book will help any Christian whose family is challenged in these ways see that God reigns, and they have an opportunity to love each other greatly and nurture a relationship not only among themselves but with the God who created us all.
