When LGBT+ loved ones come out, families can experience shock. Emotions erupt. Words spill. Relationships become disconnected. One courageous disclosure can be met with a response that communicates, "I don't understand you"; Meanwhile, in the church, LGBT+ people often face impossible hurdles and suspicion about their faith.

Guiding Families of LGBT+ Loved Ones: The Essentials Edition offers a relationally honoring, biblically sound path forward.

The Essentials Edition offers 42 pages of the most essential guidance for Christian pastors and parents when an LGBT+ loved one comes out. Filled with practical, ready-to-use relational tips; answers to common questions; and explorations of grief, parental influence, and relational care, Guiding Families is beautifully presented in a magazine-like format.

Pastors and church leaders, parents and families, seminarians and college administrators, counselors and social workers, student and campus missionaries, youth and justice workers — anyone who cares about LGBT+ people will find Guiding Families to be a helpful resource.

For over 80 pages of additional content, read Guiding Families: Expanded Edition.
