The Wisdom You Need on One of the Hardest Issues of Our Day

As gender identity, transgender experiences, and emerging gender identities continue to be normalized and celebrated, many parents are left struggling with what to think about these issues—let alone how to talk to their children about them. The leading Christian expert on LGBTQ+ concerns, Dr. Mark Yarhouse has spent years counseling and teaching on these issues.

In this biblical, practical guide, he offers parents wisdom and answers to their biggest questions about gender, equipping you to critically engage gender theory from a Christian view; initiate honest, informative dialogues with your kids; model biblical conviction with civility and compassion; recognize early signs of gender dysphoria; and navigate relationships with those who identify differently.

Gender identity is a defining issue in our children's generation. This practical guide is your go-to resource for reliable, kingdom responses on these critical topics.

Misinformation

Misinformation about the effects of puberty blockers and hormone enhancers is only the beginning of the damaging information in this book. A balance showing the painful injury to children receiving interruptive hormones is necessary. Normalizing the cultural demand for blurring gender identity, the author blames the Fall for the reason why we have to accept the pervading narrative of the culture. There is no indication of a Biblical standard that believers are called to in their witness to unbelievers. While I agree with the author that we need to be more empathetic towards people who struggle with gender issues, the Christian community is called to be set apart from the world. This book is toxic for Christian families seeking ways to provide concrete answers for young impressionable children.
