God and the Transgender Debate Review!

Image result for God and the transgender debate
Who should read this Book: People curious about what it means to be transgender. It is an excellent start for someone looking for truth on the subject concerning the Bible. 

What the Book says: People who experience gender dysphoria or consider themselves Transgender should be welcomed in the church. They should feel comfortable with their pastors, families, and parents enough to talk about what they experience. 

Secondly, their identity should be defined in who Christ is and what he has done for us. 

Where is my favorite quote: 

The church's response to those who identify as Transgender, and to those who struggle with gender dysphoria but who are not actively identifying as Transgender, must be—immediately and with integrity, "You are welcome here. You are loved here."

Walker, Andrew T. God, and the Transgender Debate: What does the Bible actually say about gender identity? (p. 123). The Good Book Company. Kindle Edition. 

When is this Book applicable in life: Conversing with people who are Transgender, and displaying love for them. How one can approach the subject delicately and use the correct terminology as to not offend someone you are conversing with. 

Why would someone bring this Book up in discussion: 
Being able to defend one's position in Christianity can be done by correctly using the terms that have been defined in this Book. As well as determining a guideline for how you want to interact with transgender people...in love and truth. 

For parents who have kids in public school systems, the family must have a plan for dealing with their children who have experienced a peer transgender in school. Parents will also explain what the person is going through and ensure that special care is taken to treat that individual with respect.
