"Far too often in the conversations at the intersections of LGBT+ identity and Christian faith, the trans community has been ignored. I’ll be recommending this book to friends and readers for years to come. But then, Austen Hartke is a rare talent, one we are so blessed to call part of the body of Christ. It’s rare to find a book that manages to be this intellectually rigorous and this readable at the same time. With the patience of a teacher and the humility of a fellow traveler, Austen Hartke carefully unpacks the terminology, sociological studies, and biblical and theological perspectives that most impact transgender Christians, and he combines them with compelling personal stories-including his own-to point us toward truth. What a powerful read! Clear, compelling, and profoundly moving, this book should be on the shelf of every pastor, every parent, and every Christian of good conscience who wants to engage the conversation around gender and sexuality with integrity.
