About this listen

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 listeners back to God's original design for sex - a way to worship and glorify him. This audiobook 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.

Good story about human needs and the folly of pride, but the author has way too much Christian guilt and shame. On the one hand, she accepts that altough she is created in the image of God, she has also inherited human needs. Instead of seeing these as being part of her makeup, she is ashamed of them and spends most of the book struggling with the shame, and never comes to complete resolution in the end. She still associates sin with the impure nature of the physical nature which God has choaen as the way to make sure the race thrives, and still tries to make only certain parts acceptable while still seeing faults in other acts. You either accept all of procreation with all its warts, or deny the perfection of God's creation. In the end she comes to terms with accepting the perfection of life and offering all of her weaknesses up, which is good, but still carries some baggage.

Way too much Christian Guilt
