Fascinating Womanhood is thrilled to present the enriched Christian Edition of the international bestseller that has transformed marriages and inspired women worldwide.

Sexual intimacy can be experienced as a pleasant pastime, a physical need, a reward, a threat, a bargaining chip, a source of frustration, a well of shame—even a necessary evil. Far less understood is its potential to be something much more: a source of deep joy, spiritual transcendence, and communion with another soul. In a society drawn to quick fixes and surface-level advice, That We Might Have Joy offers something deeper—an honest look at how sexual intimacy acts as both diagnosis and cure for what ails modern marriage.

Only this grace offers hope for a life of freedom, purity, and joy as God intended.

Singleness is often viewed as a “plan B” by our culture and the church, and sometimes by single people who feel they’re missing out on their “happy ever after”. Author Dani Treweek offers a thought-provoking reframing of popular conversations around singleness.

Being single does not mean that something is wrong. Singleness is not a problem that needs to be fixed. And yet, for so long, it has been treated that way. In the past, many churches have felt that the only way to include a single person into the fold of the church is to just get them married. This has often left single Christians feeling as if they don't belong, as if they can only find validation from a congregation if they find a spouse. Singleness is not an illness to cure, nor is it a brokenness that needs repair.
