More About This Title Lions for Ajax, (A Story about the Beauty and Symmetry of God’s Design for Gender)
English
Lions for Ajax is joyfully set in a world where gender is a gift from a wise and loving God to be lived for his glory. I wrote it for children I love who struggle to accept and live their gender as a gift. Some of the characters in Lions for Ajax revel in the gift of their gender. Other characters live sham distortions of their gender but find the joy of repentance. Others wrestle with the gift of their gender but take courageous steps to live the wonder of their masculinity or femininity for the glory of God.

This poignant work of fiction offers lived experience and sharp theology on a weighty subject: how to parent, shepherd, disciple, and love a child who hates that God made him a boy. This child does not live in a microcosm, but rather, a feet-on-the-floor, gritty Christian family. In the end, the hurt boy becomes the healed boy by learning to follow the crucified Christ. Christian fiction of this merit can heal us of our deepest fears. This book deserves the highest praise and the widest possible readership. —Rosaria Butterfield, author of Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, Openness Unhindered, and The Gospel Comes With a House Key
This work of fiction can encourage parents who struggle to teach children whose hearts seem to be closed to other methods of instruction. I hope many will follow in Nancy’s footsteps in using storyteling to bring light to hard issues in creative ways. —Amy Baker, Biblical Counselor and Ministry Resource Director at Faith Church, Lafayette, Indiana
Lions for Ajax weaves the different perspectives of the characters into a beautiful story that applies important teachings of the Bible to family life. I felt as if I was invited to be a part of the Trellert family, seeing firsthand how Joe and Lisa interact with their children and neighbors. This book gave me a model for discipling my family. It will also help me in my interactions with the non-Christian world—present biblical help in a loving way. Thank you, Nancy, for writing this wonderful and encouraging book. —Kevin Hamilton, Deaf Biblical Counseling; Minister of Grace Deaf Presbyterian Church
