"This inviting text provides a useful framework for Christians to use in approaching what can be difficult conversations around gender identity."--Publishers Weekly This book offers a measured Christian response to the diverse gender identities that are being embraced by an increasing number of adolescents. Mark Yarhouse and Julia Sadusky offer an honest, scientifically informed, compassionate, and nuanced treatment for all readers who care about or work with gender-diverse youth: pastors, church leaders, parents, family members, youth workers, and counselors. Yarhouse and Sadusky help readers distinguish between current mental health concerns, such as gender dysphoria, and the emerging gender identities that some young people turn to for a sense of identity and community. Based on the authors' significant clinical and ministry experience, this book casts a vision for practically engaging and ministering to teens navigating diverse gender-identity concerns. It also equips readers to critically engage gender theory based on a Christian view of sex and gender.
This book addresses the concept and practice of redemptive suffering while chronicling the life and death of a friend who, with her husband of forty years, allowed me to accompany her on her end-of-life journey and first hand understand the value of suffering and observe its redeeming effect. As Christians we are called to alleviate the suffering of others. Please join me in my quest to understand the value of redemptive suffering in the life of the Church and how uniting ones suffering by an act of the will in love with the sufferings of Christ can bring great grace, peace and joy and serve to participate with Christ in redeeming the world.
