About this audiobook
There's been huge cultural change in the last few decades. Same-sex marriage would have been unthinkable 20 or 30 years ago. Now it's almost universally accepted in the Western world. Now suddenly the issue of transgender is the next big social, cultural issue that has dominated the headlines. Vaughan Roberts surveys the Christian worldview and seeks to apply these principles to the many complex questions surrounding gender identity. This short book gives an overview and a starting point for constructive discussion as we seek to live in a world with different values, and love, serve and relate to transgender people. Talking Points is a series of short books designed to help Christians think, talk and relate to others with compassion, conviction and wisdom about today's big issues.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A short book presenting Christian perspectives on issues related to transgender. It is a very complex issue but there are clear Biblical principles we can follow. The main emphasis of the book however is not on expounding those Biblical principles in great depth, but on an appropriate, compassionate response to individuals. The church has begun to talk more openly about porn, and about same sex attraction, and I think this is the next big taboo to be confronted.
