This book is a great resource for anyone who walks alongside the hurting and/or questor. The real-life stories are eye-opening and demonstrate how pervasive issues relating to sex and sexuality are in our culture. This book sheds light in the dark places.

As a couple who has struggled sexually for many years, this book is a breath of fresh air for the church. It is not just fluff but will give the church and many couples help in addressing and healing from sexual issues that would never go away without the honest, deep, and spiritually informed help that this book provides.

Dr. Lisa Sinclair has addressed a serious challenge the world is experiencing. She has studied, researched, and provided divine wisdom from the Bible to enable the restoration of God’s design for sexuality.
This is a must-read for everyone challenged by sexual abuse in any context. It is a great tool for pre-marital counseling and for couples challenged in living out their God-given desire for a deep sense of intimacy for each other in a God-designed way.
Dr. Bobby Gupta, President of Hindustan Bible Institute
Lisa has taught Christians locally, nationally, and internationally on these same topics around sexuality. Most importantly, her suggestions and conclusions are all Scripturally based. What an opportunity we have in these pages to have our own sexuality aligned more perfectly to God’s design and also to be prepared to shine that light into a broken and needy world.
