IT IS ALSOAn excellent source of critical information and wisdom for those who have discovered that they have a loved one in the LGBTQ community. "We will remind you and walk you through exactly what it is you need to know, remember, think, and feel, so that you can both love, and have a relationship that reflects Gods' wisdom, compassion, and understanding."QUITE A TRICK but this book is written to both groups at the same time to increase compassion, and challenge prejudices and misconceptions by both groups regarding what God says.
