Book Review:

I found this book to be incredibly enlightening. The author, Vera English, brings a unique perspective as a conservative Christian and a parent of a trans-identifying young adult, which adds an extra layer of credibility to her insights. This topic is especially relevant for today’s churches, making it a timely and necessary read. Vera never argues for or against transgenderism—she makes it clear from the very first chapter that the focus of this book is not to debate sides. Instead, she shares her personal experiences to guide readers in re-examining the gospel in a world increasingly marked by identity confusion.

After reading this book, I walked away not only with a renewed understanding of my own identity as a Christian but also with practical guidance on how to approach relationships with the trans-identifying community and the broader culture in a way that is grounded in the gospel. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a thoughtful, compassionate, and gospel-centered approach to this important issue.
