When her adult daughter decided to identify as male, author Vera English experienced profound upheaval in her family and in her life of faith. What started out as a mother's desperate quest for answers turned into a remarkable expedition of faith. Identity Confusion & The Church is a fresh, current, and deeply thought-provoking look into what shapes an identity. The unexpected trial of identity confusion caused Vera to look inward at her own identity within the Christian culture. Vera is quick to point out that we all suffer from some level of identity confusion, especially in matters of the church. She further asserts that we add to the world's confusion with religious jargon that often sounds more like bigotry and less like Jesus. For this reason, Vera, beautifully presents the Biblical application of taking the log out of our own eye "first". By sharing her vulnerable experience as a mom and as a Christian, Vera helps us get a better grasp on the dynamics of identity confusion from a faith-based perspective. She provides valuable new insights, turning the tables of judgment on those quick to condemn, and inviting us instead down the path of mercy, grace, and self-reflection. Along the way, we will discover-as Vera did-the blessing that comes in the journey, providing answers to the deepest questions of personal faith.
