The Great Sex Rescue
What if it's not your fault that sex is bad in your marriage? Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don't know what they're missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign. The Great Sex Rescue pulls back the curtain on what is happening in Christian bedrooms and exposes the problematic teachings that wreck sex for so many couples--and the good teachings that leave others breathless. In the #metoo and #churchtoo era, not only is this book a long overdue corrective to church culture, it is poised to free thousands of couples from repressive and dissatisfying sex lives so that they can experience the kind of intimacy and wholeness God intended.
Summary of Sheila Wray Gregoire, Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach & Joanna Sawatsky's The Great Sex Rescue
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Just because something is better for the group as a whole does not mean that it is better for you as an individual. Many Christians aren’t experiencing amazing, mind-blowing, earth-shattering sex. #2 We surveyed over 20,000 women about their sex lives, marriages, beliefs about sex and marriage, and more. We wanted to find out what makes sex great, but also what can make it bad. We wanted to ask the question that the Christian world has failed to ask for decades: Does our evangelical advice actually work. #3 The Bible says that sex is supposed to be pleasurable for both spouses, and that it should be prioritized in a marriage. But many Christians follow the Bible’s advice on sex, and as a result, many women feel they have to invite their husbands to have very one- sided sex. #4 Sex was designed to be a gift freely given, not a tool for obtaining what you want through manipulation, coercion, or threat. It should put the other first, and be passionate.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Christians, as a whole, have better sex and happier marriages than people who are not religious. But just because something is better for the group does not mean you, as an individual, think it’s anything to write home about. #2 The orgasm gap exists between men and women, with 95 percent of men orgasming every time they have sex, while only 48 percent of women orgasm every time. This leaves many men who want to rock their wives’ worlds disappointed. #3 Sex was designed to be pleasurable for both people. It was also designed to be personal, and to lead to deep intimacy. It should be prioritized in a marriage. #4 Sex should be pressurefree, it should put the other first, and it should be passionate. If we agree with those principles, are the teachings and messages we hear supporting them. Or are they creating an image of sex that is diametrically opposed to the sacrificial, mutually pleasurable, and allencompassing passion that God created sex to be.
She Deserves Better
What if the goal of raising a Christian girl was about more than keeping her virginity intact? What if it was about raising a strong, independent young woman who knows who she is, uses her voice, and confidently steps into the life God has for her? From the authors of The Great Sex Rescue comes this evidence-based book grounded on surveys of over 28,000 women to offer moms a fresh, freeing, and biblically grounded message of sexuality and self-worth for their daughters that is less about the don'ts and more about the dos. This isn't your average parenting book: no pat answers or overly broad principles here. No cliché prescriptives or toxic teachings that your daughter will have to unpack and recover from as an adult, like so many of us have. Instead, you'll find data-driven insights about how to raise a woman who is resilient, knows her strength, and has the discernment skills needed to make good choices. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a girl who can navigate the difficult waters of growing up while still clinging tight to the God who created her on purpose, for a purpose.

Ministers of Propaganda
Scott Coley exposes the inner workings of the religious right’s propaganda—and how Christians can resist it. Good evangelical Christians are Republican. It seems like it’s always been this way. That means the propaganda is working. Scott Coley trains a critical eye on the fusion of evangelicalism and right-wing politics in Ministers of Propaganda. This timely volume unravels rhetoric and biblical prooftexting that support Christo-authoritarianism: an ideology that presses Christian theology into the service of authoritarian politics. Coley’s historically informed argument unsettles evangelical orthodoxy on issues like creation science or female leadership—convictions not as unchanging as powerful religious leaders would have us believe. Coley explains that we buy into propaganda because of motivated reasoning, and when we are motivated by perceived self-interest, the Christian message is easily corrupted. But if we recover Jesus’s commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves, right-wing propaganda will lose its power. Any reader troubled by American evangelicals’ embrace of racism, misogyny, and other unchristian views will find answers and hope in these pages.
The Toxic War on Masculinity
"Why Can't We Hate Men?" asks a headline in the Washington Post. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled I Hate Men, The End of Men, and Are Men Necessary? How did the idea arise that masculinity is dangerous and destructive? Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey leads you on a fascinating excursion through American history to discover why the script for masculinity turned toxic--and how to fix it. Pearcey then turns to surprising findings from sociology. Religion is often cast as a cause of domestic abuse. But research shows that authentically committed Christian men test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence of any group in America. Yes, domestic abuse is an urgent issue, and Pearcey does not mince words in addressing it. But the sociological facts explode the negative stereotypes and show that Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior in men and reconcile the sexes--an unexpected finding that has stood up to rigorous empirical testing.
Em defesa do sexo incrível
E se o que os livros cristãos costumam ensinar sobre sexo só piora a situação? Muitos livros cristãos sobre casamento retratam os homens como máquinas de sexo e as mulheres como seres passionais que aceitarão o sexo apenas por pura submissão. Mas o ideal bíblico sobre sexo nunca foi esse. Pelo contrário, Deus deseja que o sexo seja pessoal, prazeroso, puro, prioritário, sem pressões, amoroso e apaixonante — para ambos os cônjuges. Com base em uma pesquisa revolucionária envolvendo mais de vinte mil mulheres, Em defesa do sexo incrível expõe o que está acontecendo na intimidade dos casais cristãos e denuncia os erros que estão estragando a vida sexual de muitos casais — ao mesmo tempo que meostra o caminho para o retorno do sexo realmente bom (também para as mulheres).
