Every Friday my fourteen-year-old son has been reading this book for his "soul reading". Each week he journals about the chapter topic and discusses it with me. It has been a worthwhile investment. Topics Mrs. McLaughlin covers are benefits of the Christian life, racism, slavery, universal truth, relativism, "can we good without God", is the Bible true, science & Christianity, love/sex/same-sex attraction, pornography, abuse, gender, feminism, transgender/non-binary identities, suffering,& heaven/hell. She creates a lot of analogies from Harry Potter, Frozen, and other movies. My eighth grader likes Harry Potter so these analogies were impactful.
Consider: Mrs. McLaughlin shares how she has same-sex attraction but has given it to the Lord. The Lord has enabled her to marry a man and have children. She is happily married. She also shares about people who are born intersex. I had never heard of it. Be prepared to discuss it with your child.
*Highly recommend.
I own this book.
