4.5

At first, I didn't know if this was a good fit as a book for me,  just because I didn't think the title was my kind of thing. I prejudged. I didn't know who the author was or who the book was about. This book is about humanity and sin but most importantly about Who God is and who he has always been! God has never left us never abandoned us, we are the ones who placed him aside and placed our needs and temptations first. This book does a wonderful job of explaining identity and how our sexuality does not define who we are because we are all children of God. It is our choice to choose to place those titles upon ourselves. The book does a great job explaining how same-sex attraction Christianity is and how the heterosexual gospel does nothing to help them but it goes into detail on how to connect and love our fellow sisters and brothers regardless of our sins. Remember no matter what sin, however big or small it is still a sin. No sin outweighs another. I would recommend this book to every Christian because it helps us walk alongside SSA Christians without pushing them away from God but instilling the love of Jesus within them. They are more than their sexuality they at human. This is just one girl's testimony of how her life was transformed in God's way and in God's time.
