It’s a book that I immediately want to buy in multiple copies to pass along to friends, particularly those who are just starting the coming out process." - Kirsti Reeve, MA, LPC, NCC, Christian Feminism Today, Catholic Charities

“Susan has this fierce, loving, don’t mess with me, Mom vibe.”—Rev Ashley Harness, Auburn Seminary

“What impresses me about Susan is that she’s not someone who argues and strongarms people into seeing things her way. She’s someone who listens and cares for others really well. Her presence challenges Christians who reject our friends in the LGBTQ community to understand the love of God.” - Michael Hidalgo, Lead Pastor, Denver Community Church
