Who am I? It’s a simple question. Yet most of my life the answer was incredibly elusive. So many elements of our experience blend together to ultimately create our core identity. As these pieces of me emerged, I found myself hiding them behind masks; masks intended to make me look exactly like everyone around me wanted me to look. It wasn’t until the strain of hiding pushed me to the edge that I began to peak at myself from behind the masks, to realize I am not responsible for the thoughts and opinions others hold of me. It was then the masks began to shatter.
"Shattering Masks" is the story of how I came to reconcile my faith in God with living a genuine, authentic life.

Shattering Masks Affirming my identity. Transitioning my faith. eBook Laura Bethany Taylor Reviews
What a load of junk.
Taylor is a powerful storyteller with an incredible story to tell. At the core, her story is the story of all of us...as we struggle to be real, honest, and givers-and-receivers of grace. She will teach, encourage, challenge, and inspire you. Pull up a chair, prop up your feet, give her a couple of hours, and let her open her heart to you. You'll be glad you did.
While reading Shattering Masks I expected to learn about one person's journey through the maze that is gender dysphoria, and I was not disappointed. However, this book is one that would benefit not only members of the LGBT community but also anyone trying to come to terms with how their past shapes their identity and how that realization gives them the power to live authentically on their own journey. The writing is thoughtful and concise and is an easy read even for those who are new to the study transgender matters. Kudos to Taylor for her willingness to examine her life experiences, her joys and her challenges in such a real and touching way and for inspiring others to find hope out of heartache.
I met Laura Beth over a year ago through mutual friends and now I consider her to be one of my closest friends. We are both Christians with a heart for serving God and loving our neighbor.Â
Shattering Masks is the story of a girl learning who she is and how to be authentic in our world today and isn't that what we are all doing? Her story reveals raw and painful
memories that made me cry and balances that with her quick wit and funny stories from her childhood.Â
"The way we see other people, especially the way we see ourselves, will ultimately define the way we live out particular concepts such as love and grace."
This book will make you think and give you insight into the heart and life of a transgender Christian woman.
What began as a series of memes —“It’s a new day, and I’m learning that…†—became for Laura Beth Taylor the book, Shattering Masks. She is a transgender woman who is making her way through her new world, and she brings us along for the many lessons and insights she is learning. I came away not only having learned about her journey, but also recognizing more about my own life and journey. I found myself stopping very often to reflect on the words and how they relate to my own life.
She helps us care more about people — about people who are in pain and about the pain all of us carry in some form or another, about people we may not understand, and about people suffering from depression, whether it is our own selves or friends or family members.
I’m going to read it again in a few days. There is more there for me to ponder.
Note I received a promotional copy of Shattering Masks for my honest review.
There are not enough books by transgender people, and I am so grateful to Laura Beth for adding to those numbers. But before you skip this book because you don't know a transgender person or are not a transgender person yourself, I encourage you to check out Laura's book.
In her book, Laura shares stories from her past, both recent and more distant. Through these stories, she shows how she built various masks, and then how she began to deconstruct those same masks. Regardless of your sexual identity, if you struggle with authenticity or self-doubt, you will find yourself in Laura's words. Her journey to becoming Laura was part of her becoming herself, and becoming a more honest person is something each of us can do.
I loved learning about Laura's story, and I'm grateful for this book. Definitely worth your time.
This was such a touching story. It further touched my heart the issues this person went through with churches, and finding one who would accept with open arms. Also discussed are issues with boundaries, and learning appropriate boundaries, as well as codependency issues. This is definitely a book I will read again in the future.
