O knihe

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Raw, intimate, and timely-a no-holds-barred celebration of our bodies that flies in the face of antiquated ideas about sex and gender.

"A triumph."-Glennon Doyle • "One of the most important, life-changing books I've ever read."-Rachel Held Evans, author of Searching for Sunday and Inspired

Christians are obsessed with sex. But not in a good way. And as a result of this toxic fixation, countless people have suffered pain, guilt, and judgment. In this instant bestseller, Nadia Bolz-Weber unleashes her critical eye and her vulnerable yet hopeful soul on the caustic messages about sex that have fed our shame.

Bolz-Weber offers no simple amendments or polite compromises. Instead, this modern-day reverend calls for an inclusivity that empowers us to be loyal to people and, perhaps most importantly, ourselves. "Christianity is not a program for avoiding mistakes," she writes. "It is a faith of the guilty." With an alternative understanding of Scripture passages that have been weaponized against Christians for decades, Bolz-Weber reminds us that sexual flourishing can and should be for all genders, all bodies, and all humans. She shares stories, poetry, and Scripture that wage war on perpetual anxiety around sex by celebrating sexuality in all its forms and recognizing it for the gift that it is.

If you've been mistreated, confused, angered, and/or wounded by the shaming sexual messages so prevalent in religion, this one is for you.
