Description

If God means for us to save sex for marriage, why doesn't he just zap us with sexuality on our wedding night? Why do most of us experience sexual feelings throughout our adult lives, not just in the safe confines of marriage? Is limiting marriage to the union of a man and a woman anything but outdated prejudice? What is our sexuality actually for? Today's culture overwhelmingly tells us that sex is essential for human flourishing. Far too often the church perpetuates the same message - as long as you are married. But far from being liberating, this idolising of sex leaves us even more sexually broken than before. With refreshing honesty and clarity, Ed Shaw calls on the church to rediscover its confidence in the Bible's teaching about our ability to experience or express sexual feelings. He points us to how God's word reveals that sexuality's ultimate purpose is to help us better know God and the full power of his passionate love. He shows us how this is surprisingly good news for all our joys and struggles with sexuality.

Really interesting read exploring what sexuality means. Short and to the point and very well written. This is an easy and quick read and totally worth it. I would recommend

Thank you netgalley, the publisher and author for the digital advanced copy in exchange for my fair and honest review.

This is a very very good book. It hits the nail on the head of a very important topic. Ed is honest about his own struggles but shines a light on scripture to show that, while society might not agree, God's view/aim of sexuality, is truly the best and only way. This book isn't just about homosexuality, it does cover it, but it is about all of us having a fallen sexuality and how we can lean on Jesus to live a life of more purposeful sexuality
