Either parents will teach their children God's truth about gender, or else the culture will do so for them. Brian Seagraves and Hunter Leavine have put together a helpful resource for parents seeking to understand the growing complexity around the gender revolution and how to respond with both grace and truth.
There has never been a more important time for parents and kids to understand God's good design for manhood and womanhood. Confusion reigns in the culture and poor models prevail in the church. This book so clearly and concisely guides young people toward the liberating truth of who God created them to be. Every pastor, youth pastor, parent or influencer should have this handy guide on their bookshelf, so they can be read to give an answer for the hope that lies within them.
This is a helpful guide to the most debated subject of our age: gender. The material found here is practical and wise. Instead of worrying about how the culture receives us, Seagraves and Leavine point us back to foundations. We must train our children in a biblical worldview. We cannot fail to ground them in the gospel of grace. We love God's design of men and women, and see it as very reality itself. Someone is going to train our children today: either the culture or the church. This guide will help us to raise the generation to know the Lord and to honor his holy Word.

This is a topic on which there had been and will continue to be a great deal of discussion and debate and there must have been a temptation to write at length.

This is a very useful guide for parents and anyone involved in raising children on the number one hot topic of gender.
