| Description: | Select Guide Rating Inspired by a blog series that received nearly two million views, New York Times bestselling author and speaker takes on topics such as pornography, promiscuity, virginity, purity, "sex-pectations," and sex in marriage, boldly sharing her own testimony and urging readers to look at God's original design for sex. Sex. In a world overwhelmingly obsessed with it, why is the church so silent about it? While our secular culture twists, perverts, cheapens, and idolizes sex, there are gaping holes in the church''s guidance of young people. The result is generations of sexually illiterate people drowning in the repercussions of overwhelming sin struggles. Enough is enough, says Mo Isom. With raw vulnerability and a bold spirit, she shares her own sexual testimony, opening up the conversation about misguided rule-following, virginity, temptation, porn, promiscuity, false sex-pectations, sex in marriage, and more and calling readers back to God''s original design for sex--a way to worship and glorify him. This book is for the young person tangled up in an addiction to pornography, for the girlfriend feeling pressured to go further, for the "good girl" who followed the rules and saved herself for marriage and then was confused and disappointed, for the married couple who use sex as a bargaining tool, for every person who casually watches sex play out in TV and movies and wonders why they''re dissatisfied with the real thing, and for every confused or hurting person in-between. Sex was God''s idea. It''s time we invited him back into the bedroom. |
