<br/><br/> Title from cover.  "For faith leaders---whether youth ministry volunteers or ordained ministers---accompanying youth on this journey is a sacred task, full of potential for spiritual growth, development, maturity, and clarity about living of one's gender identity and expression. The process doesn't always have a linear point-A-to-point-B progression that we imagine when we think of "coming out" stories. It is more often a process of discernment---like the discernment of a sense of call from a source that is beyond our control or volition." ---Cody Sanders.
