Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The debate on homosexuality divides the church--a division Jesus prayed against in his high priestly prayer (John 17.20-24). Could it be that the real problem is the division rather than the issue at hand? It's for this reason that the church needs a book like this to help us engage in peaceful dialogue. Neufeld-Erdman has given us a thoughtful and personal reflection that I pray will aid us in becoming the church that Jesus had hoped and prayed for.”

Modern Kinship

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“As a pastor who was trained on conservative theology, my only knowledge of romantic relationships was based on cisgender heteronormativity. So when our son came out, we have no vision of what a nonhetero relationship would look like. As I’ve gotten to know Dave and Tino, they have helped me see the beauty of what I had never seen. Their stories removed much of the fears I had for my gay son by undoing the harmful stereotypes that I was brought up with. And I’m thankful that I now finally have a book that I can recommend to queer Christian couples. But the importance of this book is not limited to only queer couples; it is invaluable for parents of queer children who have little understanding of what a healthy, romantic, queer relationship looks like.”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Jonathan and Paula Williams have given us an incredibly valuable gift. In a time when so many are debating about trans identities, people’s stories bring to life what is truly important—how to love one another when someone in the family comes out. As the son of a parent who comes out as trans, Jonathan Williams helps us to see the deep struggle of grief and denial, and ultimately acceptance. Meanwhile, Paula shows us what a deeply parental love looks like in trying to care for one’s family while living her own life truthfully, even if it means losing one’s tribe. Through deeply honest storytelling, Jonathan and Paula Williams have been able to nuance and humanize the conversation in a way that theology books never could. Their story is one that needs to be heard, especially in the evangelical world of this generation.”
