Perfect for you if...

  • You're wrestling with religious faith and LGBTQ+ identity, or you know someone who is, and you want a firsthand account that doesn't oversimplify either side.
  • You're curious about radical spiritual transformation and whether it's possible to genuinely change your deepest desires and sense of self.
  • You appreciate direct, honest memoir writing that doesn't shy away from the messy parts of faith or sexuality.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a critique of Christian teachings on homosexuality or an argument against traditional theology.
  • You need a book that affirms homosexuality as compatible with Christianity, or one that frames Jackie's conversion as a tragedy.
  • You're sensitive to narratives framed as "I was broken, Christianity fixed me" without nuance.

About this book

In Gay Girl, Good God, Jackie Hill Perry recounts her personal journey and shares practical tools that supported her path toward wholeness. Growing up without a father, Perry experienced gender confusion and embraced masculinity and homosexuality. She was aware of Christian teachings on these subjects but questioned whether she needed to change herself and how she could stop loving women when homosexuality felt natural to her. At nineteen, Perry encountered what she describes as being made new. This transformation occurred in her bedroom through an encounter with God and His gospel, rather than through a church or contact with Christians. The book invites readers to understand Perry's story, to find hope, or to experience transformation themselves.
