Big business makes big money selling a phony notion of what we want and need as sexual people. Ads insist that we need their product to make ourselves more sexually appealing.Many of us are missing life's richest blessings, but not because we lack certain products. What we really want and need is intimacy, true intimacy -- the knowledge that we matter to another person and are loved for who we are.We all are sexual beings, all of our lives. We relate to each other sexually all the time. God made us this way and called this marvelous human creation "very good".Using the metaphor of sexuality as a good gift from God, this book contributes to the ongoing discussion of Christianity's resources for living a sexually healthy and fulfilling life, regardless of one's circumstances.The editor presents valuable material she and several colleagues have developed on sexuality from Christian perspectives. Discussion questions follow each chapter. A bibliographical chapter gives encouragement and guidance for further study.
