Maybe it's a positive emotion for you--or possibly a hurtful, shameful, confusing one. It's no wonder we struggle to understand its meaning and purpose. It can be difficult to talk about, and if we have experienced unwanted shame or grew up in a home where sex was taboo, addressing the topic can be even more difficult. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a world of sexual chaos and confusion, we all need a healthy dialogue on the topic--not a black-or-white, right-or-wrong lecture, but a safe forum for discovering, learning, processing, and growing into passionate intimacy within the freedom God provides. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLove \u0026amp; Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, Nancy Houston provides a compassionate view of human sexuality. Through the lens of Scripture, she unpacks the good God intended when He created humans as sexual creatures, while recognizing that many people haven't experienced sex in a positive way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou won't find a critical examination of dos and don'ts, but stories of redemption, grace, and hope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou will understand how you were shaped and that you are more than your sexual behaviors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor some people, sex is a regular part of life.
