Does God Care about Gender Identity?

“This small book is big on wisdom. Yes, God does care about gender identity, and Sam Ferguson explains why. More importantly, he helps readers go deep in understanding why the God who created us wants us to flourish as the creatures we are, and he equips readers to accompany those who struggle with this life-giving truth.”

Ryan T. Anderson

“Loaded with practical advice, this book is a must-read for those who struggle with gender identity—and for their parents, youth leaders, and pastors. Ferguson’s academic work, pastoral experiences, and clear thinking uniquely position him to bring clarity and compassion to a movement that is often muddled and full of pain. If you’re trying to understand the transgender phenomenon and think about it biblically, this book’s for you.”

Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra

“In this book, Sam Ferguson engages basic questions facing many today. Is our identity as male and female fundamentally oppressive or creative? Should we change the body to heal the mind? What’s the answer to current hurts and pains? How does transitioning compare with the Bible’s promise of transformation? Whose voices are informing and shaping minds today on these issues? Ferguson addresses these questions and more with compassion, clarity, humility, respect, and helpful guidance.”

Mark Dever

Andreas J. Köstenberger
