Rosaria tells it like it is – we must heed her important words:

The latest book from Rosaria Butterfield is essential reading. The former lesbian and women’s studies professor has of course now rejected her former postmodernism and sexual radicalism, having become an evangelical Christian. She is now a homeschooling mom living with her husband (a Presbyterian pastor) and 4 children in North Carolina.

She is one of the most cogent and incisive analysts today of where modern culture is at – especially in its sexual dimensions – and how God’s people ought to respond. I have written about her before, including this piece: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2023/04/04/forget-the-trans-pronouns-and-all-the-other-harmful-lies/

Although this book is penned especially with a female audience in mind, both sexes will find so much of value here (and yes, there are only two sexes!). She insists that until the church starts obeying the Lord and stops living by lies, things will only get worse – for all of us.

Just as the Bible early on features the story of the Tower of Babel, so too this book. The chaos and confusion found in that biblical story is just what we find in today’s culture. And it is not just because of the secular left militants who are waging war on all that we hold near and dear.
