Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot

by Mo Isom 

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

My Thoughts:

Thank YOU! Mo, Thank YOU for writing a book that the church has forgotten about and something that was apart of the God's original design. Thank you for being brave enough to write about a conversation that everyone raises their eyes about, yet seems to not understand. This book addresses why we need to hear more and instead of doing. We need to understand what sex is, why God created us the way he did and why it's important to have the view that God does on the subject matter.

This book has no fluff and you won't find her sugar coating the issue, which I think is so important. She writes about sexual temptations, the sin and the bondage that comes with it. Although, she is open and honest, she also knows the way out of such deep bondage, which is not an easy path, but freedom never easy. 

I really enjoyed this book and believe that young believers need to read this book. I also think that Pastors and engaged couples should read this book as well. It is a very well written book.
