“This is a book every Christian parent should read. Tom Gilson is a wise and masterful guide through an emotional and theological minefield, full of wisdom and compassion, scripturally sound, and eminently practical. Critical Conversations fills a critically important void.”

—Dr. Michael L. Brown, author of Can You Be Gay and Christian? and host of The Line of Fire radio broadcast

“In this age of gender confusion and ethical license, it is more important than ever that Christian families uphold scriptural standards regarding sexuality and morality. Tom Gilson speaks to these issues with valuable insight in Critical Conversations: A Christian Parents’ Guide to Discussing Homosexuality with Teens. We are now ministering in a time when many professed Christians appear predisposed against God’s standards—and this is especially true among youth, which is why Critical Conversations is such an important resource for every church and Christian home. A veteran apologist and ministry strategist who delivers realistic plans for imparting biblical truth to this generation, Tom Gilson is one writer whose insights I never miss—and this may just be his most significant work ever.”

—Alex McFarland, director for Christian Worldview and Apologetics, North Greenville University, Tigerville, South Carolina

“Critical Conversations helps Christian parents tell the truth about homosexuality in a compassionate manner. It does so for the sake of equipping young believers to do the same. Can there be a more important task in our world where many of our friends and family members identify as gay and lesbian? Simply put, if you have children, you need to read this book.”

—Alan Shlemon, author and speaker for Stand to Reason

“Homosexuality and same-sex ‘marriage’ have dominated the headlines, and anyone with children knows the relentless propaganda young people are subject to on these issues. There are many fine books describing the perils of same-sex ‘marriage’ and defending natural marriage from its critics. Tom Gilson’s book is unique: it provides thoughtful, concise ways to explain these issues to our children. If you have children, you owe it to them to read this book.”
