Gay Girl, Good God
Gay Girl, Good God: The Story of Who I Was, and Who God Has Always Been | Jackie Hill Perry
10 posts | 13 read | 6 to read
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.

3✨ Everyone should have the opportunity to learn and grow in Christ. The author provides personal experiences as a homosexual woman and her transition not necessarily to becoming “strait”, but to getting closer to the Lord and find His will for her. She has resources for same sex Christian‘s as well. No matter what your beliefs I think the authors statements are a good middle ground.

This book was interesting, but I did not agree with a lot of it. I am trying not to shy away from books that differ from my beliefs. It was interesting to hear about how Jackie believes the Christian church misses the mark and glamorizes marriage more than it should. She commented that the goal should be getting close to Jesus, not to find a spouse. However, it was harder to accept that people born gay need to avoid acting on their urges.

This book is a life changer and it is a ministry changer. If you are a believer you need to read this, if you are not a believer you need to read this. If you are a HUMAN you should read this lol all jokes aside this book is the most amazing non-fiction I‘ve ever read. Jackie hill perry is an inspiration in more ways than one but number one is she allowed God to use her no matter what others said…amen

Excellent book! I didn‘t know of Jackie Hill Perry until my cousin recommended this book. I really enjoyed it and I wasn‘t expecting to be so engaged.

"My back, showing signs of the wear and tear from the cross it was carrying day by day, was weary. The earth started to look like heaven and God, a fading cloud.... Temptation was slapping me around like a weightless doll in the hands of an imaginative child." -pg. 89

Jackie Hill Perry shares her personal testimony with eloquent, transparent, encouraging, truth in love. As she tells her own story of how exceedingly good God has been to her, she shares practical wisdom. Excellent resource.

BookBabe Starting this today! 🙌🏻 What app did you listen on? Libby? I couldn‘t find it at any of my local libraries 3y
CogsOfEncouragement Yes, I did listen on Libby. I can verify that I did and yet for whatever reason it is not available at this time for me either. 3y

Heard this beauty speak with passion at a Lifeway Conference in July and immediately bought her book knowing nothing about it. Starting her story today.
