'...a book many of us have been waiting for. A book that cuts through, with clinical precision, the destructive and oppressive railings of contemporary patriarchal theology, not with trans apologetics, but with a courageous, compassionate, and tender embracing of trans lived experience, and encounters within, the mystery and wonder of God. It is a defiant, joyous, learned celebration of all that is trans, and formed in the image of God. Alex is very much a voice for this time and generation. This is a seminal, breakthrough book in bringing trans theology in from the margins. It is academically rigorous, pastorally sensitive, and oh so refreshing. I think we will look back, and understand this book as being pivotal in changing how mainstream Christianity understands trans and non-binary people. It is rooted in, and builds upon the work of many trans and queer theologians, but moves beyond, creating an intimate and compelling narrative with the ten trans and non-binary people, they inspire to vulnerability, and authoritative, self-disclosure. If God is a self-disclosing God, then this book, reveals God afresh, in the flesh.' -- Chrissie Chevasutt
