Summary
Dr. Rosaria Butterfield was a college professor and former lesbian who after spending time with a pastor and his wife began to reconsider her beliefs and choices. She now helps Christians to identify several prominent lies of the culture – including homosexuality, transgenderism, and feminism – and encourages us to lovingly engage those false ideas with a strong biblical worldview. With compelling stories and eye-opening insights, Rosaria cuts through the cultural clutter to help others see God’s design for men and women. (Part 1 of 2)
