Jackie Hill Perry

Poet, artist, and self-proclaimed former lesbian Jackie Hill Perry makes her position clear: she has found a path out of same-sex relationships, not through any sort of conversion therapy, but through focusing on the love of God for sinners. What is less clear, even in this Gospel Coalition-sponsored, neo-Calvinist book, is if she has overcome her feelings of same-sex attraction, despite being married to a very patient man and having two children. It sounds like sexual issues are still a show more daily struggle.

This book provides an interesting perspective on a fraught topic. I would be curious as to what LGBTQ+ people think of it (I think I can guess). show less

I started reading this book hoping it would actually be something I would feel good recommending to others, but ultimately, it's not. She has some interesting points and does make a compelling picture about her own testimony, but I don't agree with her ideas regarding what it truly means to be a woman and her statement that you shouldn't label yourself as a gay Christian, but "same-sex attracted is okay." Let's get this out of the way: whether you call yourself same-sex attracted or a gay show more Christian, you are still identifying yourself by "your sin." You are still viewing your Christianity through your LGBT lens. Maybe instead of wasting time arguing about the personal terms that we all use, focus your time on discipleship and relationships with everyone around you. show less

SEXUALIDADE NÃO É A QUESTÃO CENTRAL DA VIDA

Em Garota Gay, Bom Deus, Jackie Hill Perry compartilha sua própria experiência de redenção e mostra ao leitor que, ao contrário do que sugere o mundo, sexualidade não é a questão central da vida. Deus é o centro.

Ao desvendar realidades duras como ausência paterna, abuso sexual, atração pelo mesmo sexo e concepção equivocada de feminilidade, Jackie aponta para um Salvador que ama pecadores e um evangelho que salva e transforma a show more integralidade daqueles que vêm a Jesus em arrependimento e fé.

Escrito para diferentes públicos, este livro ajudará aqueles que vivem o contexto da homossexualidade, a fim de que olhem para o Deus que os criou e que tem um plano de salvação para suas vidas que vai além da sexualidade. Servirá também aos cristãos que lutam contra a atração pelo mesmo sexo, como exemplo de perseverança e fé, e auxiliará a igreja a compreender a realidade dessa tentação que muitos cristãos enfrentam. show less

How to pray away the gay, turn straight, and closet yourself. Just like all those straight anti-gay priests found on Grindr(Google that).

As a rational person, you can't stop being gay anymore than you can stop being a certain height or a certain heritage. Sexuality cannot be changed, and reading through parts of this book, she might be bisexual or something else.

The abuse of "gayness" throughout this book like it's a scale or "hetero-love" drives me batty once it repeats past four times. show more It's a very forced perspective and I'd almost wager this book a scam within a scam. A big lie.

Skip this book, it's a big religious force feeding crammed down the reader's throat. Utterly offensive drivel.
