About this listen

When Christian singer and speaker Staci Frenes learned her teenage daughter was gay, she found her dreams for the future - along with her lifelong faith - collapsing around her. Coming to terms with a new reality was a challenge - and an invitation - to make room for many things along the way: the inevitability of uncertainty, hope in the midst of loss, awkward and tough conversations, an expanding faith, and a greater understanding of how people are more the same than different.

In Love Makes Room, Frenes helps listeners see that a reimagined future may look different than our old hoped-for pictures of ourselves and our families, but it can also be wider, deeper, and more fulfilling than we've ever dreamed.

Awesome book that I highly recommend

I just finished listening to the audio book and as each chapter was finished I couldn't wait to listen to the next one. This is a topic that very few churches in my experience openly talks about or have sermons on. However, it is a much needed topic in todays world to have open and honest conversations about.

This book makes me think of other marginalized groups who are treated or thought as different, but more importantly how God's love is demonstrated by these real life experiences in this book. These experience has helped me to understand the true heart of God. Sometimes, it is easy for anyone to get fixated on the technical aspects of religion that can lead us away from its true meaning. So reading this story truly was an eye opening experience for me in helping me see others as God sees them: as God's wonderful creation.
