Gay Girl, Good God: The Story of Who I Was, and Who God Has Always Been by Jackie Hill Perry – B&H Books

I love to know people. I like to have new friends, I like to hang out with people who are very different than me, unique, radical opposition to the things I know, like and enjoy. I've learned a lot of things that way. Jackie is that kind of friend I'd like to have, to understand a lot of things, to ask, to share. The way Nancy DeMoss introduced this book got me like oh yes, she gets it, she is also very different and I feel the same way and we both enjoy and admire Jackie. Yes, the way she wrote about Jackie is the way I felt about her. Our looks, childhood, sins, friends, family, our everything is different, but so God is the same, is good and this book helped me to understand another girl's history. If you want to enjoy other girl's words and the musicality and depth she puts into everything go get the book (it is going to be ready in Spanish "soon", I know that). We need this kind of topics so very much, the other side of the story, not just the one that gets more attention. I don't want to ruin you with spoilers, so go get it here: https://amzn.to/2HpClFO.

Description

“I used to be a lesbian.”
In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could?
At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel.
Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.
