David Martin has written a very gracious book about an extremely sensitive topic. The issue of transgenderism is one that is at the forefront of modern culture. It's certainly not a topic that we can just sweep under the rug and avoid, especially with our children. Parents, we need this book. Get it, read it, and then consider how to apply it to your conversations with your children.

David Martin has written a book, comprised of letters to his four little children, that takes an emotionally fraught and politically explosive subject and transforms it into a lesson filled with love and hope [...] While I take issue with David's conclusion, I do not with his process. The writing is exquisite, the sentiments are beautiful and I believe it is a wonderful guide for ALL parents in how to speak to little ones clearly, simply and with love, regardless of religious or non-religious belief.

David Martin has provided parents with a pastoral resource to equip children on a controversial and challenging topic in age-appropriate ways. Parents can no longer sit out the transgender debate, and David's book is a useful tool to help parents bring the truths of God's Word to bear on a broken world.
-- Andrew T. Walker (Director of Policy Studies, The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission & Author, God and the Transgender Debate)
Here in London one of the schools we were thinking of sending our sons to has just approved a transgender uniform policy. My wife and I find ourselves ever more desperate to try and equip our children to navigate such a world and we're so grateful to David Martin for this clearly Biblical and deeply practical response to a cultural wave all my family find profoundly confusing.
-- Rico Tice (Author, Christianity Explored & Associate Minister at All Souls Church, Langham Place, London)
In a very timely book David Martin provides some excellent ways to talk to our children about this confusing issue. David's approach is kind, caring and sensitive in manner. I recommend this book to you.

... simple but never simplistic, honest but never harsh, biblical but never complicated. This book will certainly help parents to speak well with their children. But it also teaches all of us how to consider and then relate wisely and compassionately toward those who struggle with their gender.
-- Dr. Andrew Collins (Biblical Counsellor)
This is no manual from a detached observer but a plea from the heart of someone seriously concerned for the well-being of his own family and for the glory of God.
-- Andy Lines (Missionary Bishop for Europe, Anglican Church in North America)
