Love Makes Room

And Other Things I Learned When My Daughter Came Out

De: Staci Frenes

Narrado por: Staci Frenes

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.

Great listen for anyone trying to come to terms with a loved one’s sexuality. Touching, informative, and entertaining. This book has helped me become a better human.

Searching Mom

Staci’s words resonated to my very core. Her words and experiences about her daughter could be almost an exact mirror of our sons experience. Thank you and Abby for being courageous enough to share your personal story. I’m sure you will help provide comfort, instill courage and encourage love in families.

Loved “Love Makes Room”

Staci beautifully tells her family’s story with such grace. Whether or not you agree with her theology, love is always the answer. Thank you, Staci for showing us how to love.

A Beautifully Told Story for All

Staci’s story takes us into the trenches of the heart, mind, and soul. No matter where you land regarding your interpretation of scripture regarding the issue of homosexuality, Staci’s story takes us for a walk in her shoes and gently guides us to consider challenging questions as we process, “What if this were my child, a friend’s child who I love, or anyone’s child in whom I’m called to love?” And in that regard, Staci’s story belongs to all of us.

Beautiful story elegantly written

I loved this story and the emotions it drew out of me. Thank you Staci for this incredible book. I hope someday my mom can get to the same place you are.
