This is a book that urgently needs to get into the hands
of every Christian parent. Melinda provides an excellent
resource for not compromising spiritual disciplines
and navigating familial relationships marred by LGBT
philosophy. In our culture of spiritual compromise and
neutrality, Melinda shines the light of Jesus onto the
schemes of Satan.

Melinda uses her family's LGBT experience, Christian
leadership, and entertaining personal stories to anchor
spiritual principles and processes all parents need. If you
are a parent looking to find Christ as your foundation in
an LGBT situation, desire to grow in relational discernment
with your child, and seek to rightly apply God's word
for real hope for transformation in your family, then The
Daring Rescue is the resource you are looking for.
