"Thank you, Lauren. Now we pastors have a book we can give with confidence to people we serve and lead who have questions about sexuality. It is gentle, firm, honest, candid, reverent, informed, wise, apt, warm, human, and--in the best sense of the word--spiritual."--Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christian, The Story We Find Ourselves In, and A Generous Orthodoxy
"It is unquestionably impossible to write a book about sex that is as exciting as the topic itself. But Lauren Winner comes close. She has written a book of beauty, mystery, stern challenge, and great joy. And she has written it in a humble, honest, literate, elegant voice. I hope it finds many readers."--John Ortberg, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
"[Winner] bring[s] honesty and integrity to matters concerning sexuality and faith. . . . She shares authentically about a challenging time of life with which many will identify and empathize. . . . Read [Real Sex] to help you engage the immediacy and earthiness of sexuality and spirituality today."--Wayne A. Holst, National Catholic Reporter

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. Blunt, honest, wise: Lauren Winner takes on contemporary Christian notions of 'good sex' with her usual hip learnedness. Equally deconstructing self-servingly casual or reflexively-prudish attitudes within the churches, she has done fine exegetical work in proposing correctives such as prayer and fasting as an aid to biblically understood chastity, insisting that men and women move away from selfish individualism and approach sex in a context of Christian communities that integrate wholesome sexuality, holiness, and faithfulness to tradition. Using both anecdotal case studies and theological reflection, Winner takes on the toughest questions straightforwardly and compassionately. Seller Inventory # 54885

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. SEX. Splashed across magazine covers, billboards, and computer screens--sex is casual, aggressive, and absolutely everywhere. And everybody's doing it, right? In Real Sex, heralded young author Lauren F. Winner speaks candidly to Christians about the difficulty--and the importance--of sexual chastity. With honesty and wit, she talks about her struggle to live a celibate life. Never dodging tough terms like "confession" and "sin," Winner grounds her discussion of chastity first and foremost in Scripture. She confronts cultural lies about sex and challenges how we talk about sex in church. Her biblically grounded observations and suggestions will be especially valuable to unmarried Christians struggling with the sexual mania of today's culture. Real Sex is essential reading for Christians grappling with chastity and a valuable tool for pastors. Straightforward talk on sex and chastity from the best-selling author of Girl Meets God.
