B&amp;H Books, 2018. 208 pages.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reading Level<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/teen-ya\/\">Adults<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: Ages 15 and up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is not a book to be skimmed or speed read,\u201d Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth warns readers in its introduction. Rather, she continues, it should be \u201c. . . savored and pondered, as Jackie looks through the lens of Scripture and her own journey to unpack such realities as fatherlessness, abuse, same-sex attraction, identity, temptation, fighting lust with the gospel, and misconceptions of womanhood.\u201d There is a lot going on in this slim book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Gay Girl, Good God<\/em>, Jackie Hill Perry invites readers into her story. In Part 1: Who I Was, she shares her early life experiences, all that led to her decision to embrace her feelings and live as a lesbian. Perry\u2019s style is raw and deep. It confronts readers and invites them into her story. Such is the power of her storytelling, that it&#8217;s easy to slip into her shoes and feel her conflict of emotion at high school prom as a girl she admires asks her to be her girlfriend. She brushes it off, \u201cI ain\u2019t gay!\u201d Before admitting to readers, \u201cI was attracted to women before I knew how to spell my name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-to-the-story\">MORE TO THE STORY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, in and around her own story, Jackie weaves in an even older story: the first story of sin and fall, and then, as she experiences it herself, the story of redemption. This isn\u2019t an easy read. It isn\u2019t meant to be. Perry is a gifted artist and her words and passion are haunting. She is honest, often brutally so. \u201cBetween fatherlessness and sexual abuse, my entire frame of reference for people God made male was built on the experience of their doing.\u201d She remembers herself, \u201cA girl child whose first introduction to male affection wouldn\u2019t be her daddy\u2019s hug but another male&#8217;s lusts.\u201d Powerful and evocative, Perry draws readers in yet points them beyond pain and sin to the glorious power and redemption of the greatest Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She muses, \u201cApparently, this body was never mine to begin with; it was given to me from Somebody, for Somebody. Somebody who\u2019d made it for glory and not shame.\u201d Part 2: Who I Became, shares her transformation. For Perry, her identity in her sexuality, in her love for a woman, was a stumbling block. Yet, she came to understand God\u2019s call to her was more than a call to change her feelings. Rather, \u201cIn my becoming Holy as He is, I would not be miraculously made into a woman that didn\u2019t like women; I\u2019d be made into a woman that loved God more than anything.\u201d Perry takes readers through her early years of sanctification, becoming a Christian and a poet and her battles with sin, not just the sin of her past life, but the sin of pride. She shares the unexpected romance that God allowed, and candidly admits to her personal struggles along the way to marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-with-same-sex-attraction\">WHAT TO DO WITH SAME SEX ATTRACTION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While Perry engages with truth and quotes scripture throughout her memoir, she spends the last 3 chapters, Part 3, thoughtfully engaging with the concept of Same Sex Attraction and Identity, Endurance, and the Heterosexual Gospel. Perry is compassionate, nuanced, and bold in calling readers to the truth. In her final chapter, she condemns evangelism that first tries to change sexuality and encourage heterosexual behavior. She encourages churches to focus on the important role singles play within Christian life, even if they never marry. Through it all, Perry wants to keep our focus on the gospel, and she is committed to refocusing attention to the truth of a Good God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-considerations\">Considerations:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Perry is raw and candid in her memoir.
