The Book Launch is in the Books!

We had a great (and somewhat surprising!) turnout, and people also joined live online from coast to coast across the US and Canada. Here's one comment from the livestream.


"This is Amazing . . . Incredible. What an Approach. Thank you for this."


In addition to explaining the story behind the book and the argument, I did two selected readings about why resolving the gender paradox is so important on a global scale and in the church.


And there was some great treats and conversation afterwards!

The launch presentation is available online and now includes chapters for easy navigation, so go ahead and browse through!
