Sometimes it is scary to pick up authors that are unknown, especially when it comes to theology and heated issues like same sex attraction, homosexual identity, and gender roles. Then add upon that the complications of church culture and traditions and you have lots of room for cringy moments. Thankfully, this book had none!

Rachel Gilson was frank and didn’t dilute the Gospel. Her struggle to obey God, her conversion and her testimony are both beautiful and triumphant. Her explanations on the importance of inter-generational friendships was so moving that it has changed my life! I now am looking for ladies much younger and older for me to befriend. I loved this book and how she allowed us to peer into her old life and gloriously bask with her in her saved life.

She also had a lot to say on the idol of romance and love that our generation has fallen into. What a clear call to revisit our faulty thinking of what love is and what marriage should look like! Her voice on the unique importance of singleness was also just as powerful. Using the Bible, she backs up her stance on these subjects and she rightfully dictates the holiness and usefulness of both.

I recommend this book to any Christian wanting to read more about same sex attraction, marriage, and singleness. If you enjoyed Rosaria Butterfield’s books, you will enjoy this one. If you struggle with same sex attraction or someone you love does or just want to understand more, this book is full of hope for all because it is full of the Gospel.

I 5-starred this book on my Goodreads.
