Helps parents to teach young children what the Bible says about sexuality proactively and positively in a culture with contrasting ideas and values.
As Christian parents, we long to equip our kids as they venture out into a culture where LGBT is affirmed and celebrated. We want them to know what God says, and to love what God says. But, it’s hard to know where to start. That’s where this book can help
Author Rachel Gilson helps you to teach your children proactively and positively about God’s beautiful design for human sexuality, gender, and relationships. This book will help you to provide your children with a Christian framework for sexual ethics, rather than letting the culture lay the foundations of their worldview in this area.
Rachel writes with understanding and clarity to help fellow parents engage with the wider LGBT narrative with faith rather than fear. Since she herself experiences same-sex attraction but has chosen to follow the Bible’s teaching, she has put much thought into this topic. She reassures us that Jesus gives us everything we need to be faithful disciples in a fallen world, and that God works out his perfect purposes despite human sin. She also shares her wisdom on how to respond with grace and truth to people with different beliefs in this area.
This book is ideal for preschool and elementary-school children.

J.D. Greear, pastor at The Summit Church
There are few voices I trust more for clarity, guidance and wisdom than Rachel Gilson. In this book she enables parents to approach intimidating subjects with confidence and skill, taking advantage of the divinely orchestrated discipleship moments God supplies as we raise our children. Practical, faithful, discerning, insightful—Rachel is a gift to the church, and I love learning from her.
Kathy Keller, co-author of The Meaning of Marriage and Assistant Director of Communications at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York
I hope that every Christian parent, teacher, pastor, counselor, or anyone else who ministers to children will take the time to read this short primer on preparing children to withstand, as disciples, the cultural affirmation of LGBT+ narratives, as well as what may be their own confusion. Rachel Gilson is both rock solid in affirming all God’s commandments and will for male and female identities, while at the same time, urging graciousness and kindness to those who have adopted a broken understanding of sexuality. For that matter, I would hope kind and gentle Christians would be moved to pass this small volume along to those who hold a different view from the Bible, in the hopes that they would learn that to disagree is not to hate and that the gospel of Jesus is our resource for all kinds of brokenness.
Sam Allberry, Pastor at Immanuel Church, Nashville; author of Is God Anti-Gay? and What Does God Have to Say About Our Bodies?
Rachel Gilson is a gift to the church and this book shows us why, providing all who need it with a calm and sure guide through how to talk about the Bible’s teaching on sexuality. A must-read for parents, and for all others seeking help with these consequential conversations.
Ray and Jani Ortlund, President and Executive Vice President, Renewal Ministries
Rachel Gilson’s Parenting without Panic in an LGBT-Affirming World can be welcomed by parents with a huge sigh of relief!
