Once I found out that Jackie wrote a book about her life, and how she came to know God, I wanted to know her full story, as I had only seen a tiny portion of her testimony on the video interview. Some may also know Jackie, as a "Spoken Word Poet" (not sure the correct title). She also has been gifted by God to tell a story through poetic expression. Her gift with words is so evident in her book, Gay Girl, Good God. Many times, I had to stop and reread a section in the book to truly soak it in.
I am sure that many reading this review would be intrigued by the title of Jackie's book, and want to know where she stands on the issue of homosexuality. All I will say, as I really want everyone to read this book (whether you believe in God or not) is take a chance and PLEASE READ THE BOOK. Jackie doesn't so much focus in on her past, but on who God revealed Himself to be. God really is the focus of this book.
Even if you do not agree with Jackie, I feel like you would at least be able to say she demonstrates much compassion and understanding throughout the entire book. Homosexuality is such a hot topic for the Church (collective body of believers) right now, and I feel like Jackie is one speaking truth that could bring healing with God's help. Buy the book, and pass it on.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from B&H Publishing, and in turn agreed to write this review.
