Lionhearted

Lionhearted: The Joshua McParland Story is a raw, powerful, and deeply moving memoir of one young man's journey through the complexities of gender identity, faith, and self-discovery.

In this heartfelt journal, Joshua McParland shares his personal story of transitioning from male to female, struggling to find happiness and fulfillment in a life that felt increasingly at odds with his inner truth. Just as he reached the end stages of his transition, Joshua encountered a transformative and life-changing experience: he found God.

Through faith in Jesus Christ, Joshua embarked on a remarkable journey of healing and self-acceptance, leading him to de-transition and embrace the identity God originally created for him. With vulnerability and courage, he reflects on the struggles he faced, the lessons he learned, and the undeniable grace that carried him through.

But this book is more than just Joshua's story. The second half is a guided journal designed for readers to embark on their own journey of self-discovery through the lens of biblical truth. Featuring thought-provoking prompts, scripture-based reflections, and practical exercises, the journal invites readers to explore their identity, purpose, and relationship with God according to His Word.

Lionhearted is an inspiring and transformative resource for anyone wrestling with questions of identity, purpose, or faith. Joshua's testimony, paired with the interactive journal, offers a unique combination of encouragement, understanding, and actionable steps toward discovering who you are in Christ.

Discover the power of grace, the strength of faith, and the courage it takes to live as God created you to be. Let this book be your guide to healing, clarity, and lasting peace.
