Bulletproof Faith by Candace Chellew-Hodge

briannadasilva's review against another edition

5.0

(Adding this books months after I read it, because the act of adding it earlier would have outed me before I was ready 👀)

This book was really really really really really helpful while I was preparing to come out as bi. 💗💜💙 Honestly, it was vital.

I was a little leery of buying it because it sounded a little militant, if not arrogant, but ironically, it's way less aggressive than I am. It's all about how not to get into fights, and how to treat people who disagree with you with gentleness and compassion, without letting them think you support their prejudices. The faith of the title is a personal self-assurance that one has to have in order to suffer the trails of life gracefully. The author quotes 2 Timothy 2:23-25 and James 3:17 at lot, as well as Buffy and Xena. It's really, really helped me with how I think about interacting with potentially hostile Christians. I would highly recommend this book to queer Christians, queers who regularly deal with Christians, and straight Christians who are allies.
