Not A Mistake
Where did we go wrong? Is my son a mistake? How do I love my child well? Is there hope?
Are you a parent struggling with these questions and many more?
In Not A Mistake, Jim Domen writes of his personal journey, growing up with same-sex attraction, his parents' response when he "came out," his prodigal return, and his ongoing struggles as he leads his wife, his children, and his ministry to serve Christ Jesus.
Jim Domen shares his personal stories and the stories of many others who grapple with same-sex attraction.
Compassionately written with deep personal reflection, Not A Mistake provides an essential biblically-based resource for parents, family, and friends of loved ones with same-sex attraction. Jim addresses all of the central questions, from using preferred pronouns to attending gay weddings and parenting children who identify as LGBTQ.
Most important of all – the essential message is this:
Your parenting is not a mistake.
Your child is not a mistake.
