Gay Girl, Good God: The Story of Who I Was, and Who God Has Always Been by Jackie Hill Perry
5.0
Captivating Testimony
I picked this book after seeing a recommendation from a friend. I have been trying over the past year or so to seek out stories from people who don't look like me and have different stories than I do and this definitely fit the bill in more than one aspect. I went into to the book very skeptical that this was going to be a "pray the gay away" story. I don't want to minimize Jackie's testimony, but I left the book still skeptical and wondering if Jackie's experience is completely unique or something others have experienced as well. All in all it is a wonderful story of the redemption power of Jesus - even if it's only one woman's story - and proof that nothing is impossible with God. I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking to open their mind and broaden their horizons.
