WHEN WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH: You told your LGBTQ child: ‘I love you and accept you as you are.’ But how well are you handling a disclosure that shatters ... your faith?

by Loraine Tulleken

When your adult child emerges from his or her closet to reveal a different sexuality, no matter how loving and accepting you try to be there's a difficult path ahead. You will probably be told it's not about you. But what about your dreams and aspirations, the grandchildren you yearn for and your standing in your church and your community? If you love and accept your child where is God in all this? Does conversion therapy work? Are you ready to handle a same sex wedding? This book was written to walk you through a minefield often booby trapped by ignorance, well intentioned mistakes and a failure to trust our God of Love.
