Sex God : exploring the endless connections between sexuality and spirituality
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
God and sex go together. You cant́ separate the two, says Rob Bell, because this physical world is intimately linked to deeper spiritual realities. And so, in order to make sense of sexuality, at some point you have to talk about God. With beauty and unusual insight, "Sex God" explores this connection. This is the story of God becoming human, of humans mirroring God, and love made manifest in the messiness of our humanity. "Sex God" is about relationships revealed in a way that elevates the human condition and offers hope to those whose relationships are wounded. Bell addresses lust, respect, denial, risk, acceptance, and more. His love for God and the Bible is clear, as is his ability to ask probing questions and offer answers that make readers think deeply about their own lives.
