{"product_id":"when-children-come-out-a-guide-for-christian-parents","title":"When Children Come Out: A Guide for Christian Parents","description":"If you are a parent wrestling with God, you are not alone.\nWhen a child comes out as LGBTQ+, Christian parents often find themselves navigating unfamiliar, unsettling terrain. Mark Yarhouse and Olya Zaporozhets, therapists and researchers with decades of experience, have written this book to provide perspective, insight, and the chance to learn from others who've shared a similar journey. Using data from studies of Christian parents of LGBTQ+ children, they deliver research-based insights and faithful wisdom that is accessible for parents, their friends, and church leaders.\nYarhouse and Zaporozhets reframe the focus away from \"culture war\" questions that are not helpful to families in favor of practical counsel for maintaining and deepening relationships. Parents and the church leaders who care for them will benefit from understanding key developmental considerations among teenagers and emerging adults who are navigating questions around sexual and gender identity and faith.\nIdentifying common patterns while acknowledging the uniqueness of each family, here is a book to guide parents in processing their own experiences, beliefs, and relationship with God. They will also discover techniques toreduce fear-based parenting choices and to express love, as the parent-child relationship continues to change and grow over time.\nFilled with stories, hard-won advice from Christian parents, and questions for reflection, When Children ComeOut is an essential and hopeful resource.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1514000083\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1514000083.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yarhouse, Mark A.|Zaporozhets, Olya\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
