What our readers think
Readers find this title to be deeply enriching and convicting. The author's insights into how a believer should see themselves and the world are exactly what we need in a world void of stabilizing truth. The book is challenging, enlightening, and Christ-exalting. It clarifies confusion and offers amazing grace and incomprehensible peace. Overall, this book is highly recommended for all readers.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5With her careful, clear, and vivid style Rosaria Champagne Butterfield leads us through the thicket of Christian life, in but not of the world, with grace and truth. Hearing her voice adds to the impact of the book. Wonderful.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Honestly, beyond the issue of homosexuality, Rosaria’s insight into how a believer should see the self and the world is exactly what we need in a world void of any stabilizing truth. For a believer, no matter what we think, or what we feel, when the Word of God declares truth we should be transformed by it and not the other way around. The amazing grace and incomprehensible peace is only ours when we receive God on His terms.
This book was so clarifying for me. And revealed so many areas of unnecessary confusion in my thinking. As a woman who has wrestled with homosexual desire, it was so powerful to understand why it cuts my efforts off at the knees to identify with sin and call it “self”.
Thank you for your book, Mrs. Butterfield. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Challenging, enlightening, Christ exalting. I highly recommend this book for all!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Butterfield’s unfiltered thoughts and reflections on God’s truths are both deeply enriching and convicting. The desire she has to see the LORD’s people reach a broken world through love, grace, hospitality and more, makes this book a must read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Incredibly thoughtful and love-filled book. Would recommend and will read/listen to again.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not read with much pleasure yet there is surely much truth here? She so often resorts to a tirade on original sin, "the blood", and inerrancy, that it almost detracts from her argument. Which is I think that practice has become identity, and there are no easy answers, but Christian community should be a countervailing strength.
