Resumen del Editor

I grew up in the Southern Baptist church of the '90s during the height of the True Love Waits movement, accompanied by Joshua Harris’ best seller, I Kissed Dating Goodbye. If you don’t know what I am referring to, consider yourself blessed.

Many of the ideas perpetuated by this culture were infused with fear and shame, offering no practical help or guidance in equipping young people to become healthy sexual human beings. As I approached adulthood, I became accustomed to feeling shame around my sexuality; trying to white-knuckle purity and falling short over and over again. This left me feeling full of self-hatred and hopelessness.

I hope for this book to serve as the guide I wish I’d had, providing comfort and clarity to those who find themselves in a similar struggle for sexual health. I have written these essays not only for men, but also for women who want to understand what healthy sexuality can look like in a partner.

May this book be life-giving to your sexual healing. May courage accompany you as you engage with these essays of spirituality, sexuality, and restoration.

Be ready to be called to the carpet

Wow! I’ve never been read so well and thoroughly. This book is an eye opener and unlike many books not a self help book trying to tell you what to do. It’s more intimate and exemplifies true vulnerability. He shares his personal stories as guides to navigate sexual trauma. This is not the book to play with, worth the listen.

Eye opener

The story is an eye opener to me as a woman, survivor of sexual abuse, of the pain and shame that men experience about their sexuality. To me, it is important to understand male sexuality to heal my own. It saddens me that there’s not enough support and education for men as it is for women. I find more topics on female sexuality than for men. Example The Principles of Pleasure in Netflix. It is all about female sexuality. So I’m grateful to the author his vulnerability in writing his story . I pray that many men and women read it.
