In Made in God's Image, Ann Thompson Cook communicates a gently assertive expectation that we as Christians need to get up to speed on something too rarely discussed but very important for the life of the church and its ministries. Combining valuable information, personal sharing, and resources, this booklet is a perfect starting place for any congregation, family, or individual seeking to better understand transgender issues and to provide a supportive environment for all of God’s children.

Transgender Good News provides a thorough review of physiological, psychological, and sociological scientific research to set up discussions of practical, therapeutic, legal, political, and religious issues. The last 70 pages of the book provides an extended Christian theological analysis considering biblical, doctrinal, natural theology, liberation, and dialectic theology perspectives on transgender experience and expression.

The author is both a therapist and a transexual. In addition, this book includes a chapter on religion: "When Worlds Collide - Fundamentalist Religion and Transition"

Writing for church leaders, Bishop Flunder draws on her experience in ministry with marginalized people, including the large transgender community within her church.
