Synopsis

Dare to dream of a church and a world transformed by the bold celebration of transgender and gender-diverse children.

Drawing on the author's experience as a mother walking with and learning from her own transgender child, as well as working with hundreds of families across the country doing the same, this book helps parents navigate the emotional, spiritual, and logistical landscape of raising a gender-diverse child.

Grounded in the unequivocal truth of God's deep love and limitless creativity, this book compels listeners to move past "all are welcome" to loving and celebrating transgender and gender-diverse youth in the brilliance of their uniqueness, the wisdom of their self-awareness, and the joy of their authenticity. Faith leaders and adults who work with youth will also find the book a helpful tool for gaining insight and building safer and more welcoming congregations for these children.

Rich with personal stories, research, and practical steps, this book dares to dream of a church and a world transformed by the bold and joyful acceptance and celebration of transgender and gender-diverse children and youth. These children need us, and the world needs them.

This is the book I wanted years ago when I turned to the library to learn how to reconcile my faith with who my children knew themselves to be, when I longed to follow Jesus into the LGBTQ affirmation he was guiding my husband and I to.

Goodreads review by Scott on April 18, 2024

Overall, this book is a wonderful work that shares God’s love in a way that isn’t represented nearly enough. Contrary to what I had seen in other reviews, biblical references are absolutely present in the book. The Bible does not say “Thou shalt love transgender people” explicitly, so if you were lo......more
