Gender Ideology – what do Christians need to know?

The world has embraced the idea that gender is something that can be decided by individuals. As Christians encounter colleagues, friends and family members who identify as a gender other than the one they were born, we need to be informed and equipped with knowledge about what the issues are, what different terms mean and what the Bible has to say about these things. While we walk the line between loving our neighbour and not buying into the world’s lies, Sharon James helps us in this informative and practical guide.

Though short, it is packed with all the information and background you will need to help you understand what is going on in our culture. Clearly written, well– informed, contemporary and biblical. Personally I would recommend that every Christian have a copy, and every church several. Superb!

A powerful, eye–opening, gracious, and ultimately alarming book that will quickly give readers a deeper understanding of the deceptiveness of the modern ‘gender identity’ movement that is rapidly capturing our media, our laws, our schools, and our children – and even our very freedom to speak the foundational truth that God created the human race with two ‘very good’ genders, male and female, and they cannot be changed.
