Surrendered Sexuality : How Knowing Jesus Changes Everything
$16.99The purpose of our sexuality is not self-discovery but to understand God’s love.
We tend to have pockets of our lives dominated by the flesh and driven by cultural wisdom. For many, sexuality is one of those pockets. Christians are confused about God’s views on sex and intimacy. In today’s culture, we struggle to grasp the meaning or purpose of our sexuality. We don’t know how to make sense of our temptation, shame, brokenness, longings, or desires. What is more, Christian churches and families are divided in the nuances of sexuality, neglecting Jesus’ most important call to be unified as His body.
Recognized expert in biblical sexuality Dr. Juli Slattery brings her years of experience, biblical knowledge, and passion for the Lord in applying the call of Christians to surrender their views, questions, and pain to the God who changes everything. Surrendered Sexuality provides a clear, biblical understanding of the significance of our sexuality and the transformational power of Christ. Readers discover how Jesus gave His life not primarily to change behavior, but to renew our identity–which is rooted in our union with Christ, not our wounds, feelings, desires, past or present sins, or purity.
We’re living amid tremendous cultural confusion and pain. But we will not be able to offer life and hope without the fire of God’s love first passing through us. Surrendered Sexuality provides the biblical wisdom, help, and encouragement we all need.

Sexuality And Sex Therapy Second Edition
$64.99A Comprehensive Survey of Human Sexuality from a Christian Perspective
The field of human sexuality is one of ever-increasing complexity, particularly for Christian therapists and psychologists seeking to be faithful to Scripture, informed by science, and sensitive to culture. In Sexuality and Sex Therapy, Mark Yarhouse and Erica Tan offer a survey and appraisal of this field from a Christian perspective, grounding sex therapy in the biblical affirmation of physicality and the redemptive purposes of human life.
This second edition:
*Integrates the latest research with a Christian worldview as the authors explore sexual dysfunctions as well as various clinical issues and treatments,
*Updates key research findings in each chapter, and
*Addresses more recent societal trends related to gender identity, non-normative sexualities, digital and social media, and other areas of interest.
Not only have Yarhouse and Tan written a standard resource for Christian therapists and counselors, but they also challenge the church to talk more honestly and openly about the blessing of human sexuality.

Every Bodys Story
$19.99Every story entails a way of life and how every way of life implies a big story.
In Every Body’s Story, Branson Parler focuses on three predominant myths of sexuality in our secular age–individualism, romance, and materialism–and three dominant myths in Christian circles–anti-body theology, legalism, and the sexual prosperity gospel–exploring how those stories shape our practice. Our views of sexuality and our practices around sex are never just about sex. How we use and view our bodies reveals who/what we think God is (or is not) and who we are.
If we truly understand the biblical logic of marriage, sexuality, and singleness–that they are meant to embody the gospel–then we will better understand why this witness is so vital. As God’s self-giving faithfulness is put on display by both married and single Christians, those formed by our secular age will have to ask: What if it’s true? What if there’s more? What if God really does love us that much? Rather than viewing our sexuality as an isolated matter of ethics, we can see how the gospel places our sexuality in the context of God’s rescue mission of the world.

Our Bodies Tell Gods Story
$22.99In response to a world awash in sexual chaos and gender confusion, this book offers a bold and thoroughly biblical look at the meaning of the body, sex, gender, and marriage.
Bestselling author, cultural commentator, and popular theologian Christopher West is one of the world’s most recognized teachers of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. He specializes in making this teaching accessible to all Christians, with particular attention to evangelicals. As West explains, from beginning to end the Bible tells a story of marriage. It begins with the marriage of man and woman in an earthly paradise and ends with the marriage of Christ and the church in an eternal paradise.
In our post-sexual-revolution world, we need to remember that our bodies tell a divine story and proclaim the gospel itself. As male and female and in the call to become “one flesh,” our bodies reveal a “great mystery” that mirrors Christ’s love for the church (Eph. 5:31-32). This book provides a redemptive rather than repressive approach to sexual purity, explores the true meaning of sex and marriage, and offers a compelling vision of what it means to be created male and female. Foreword by Eric Metaxas.

Authentic Human Sexuality
$42.99Sex pervades our culture, going far beyond the confines of the bedroom into the workplace, the church, and the media.
Yet despite all the attention and even obsession devoted to sex, human sexuality remains confusing and even foreboding. What, after all, is authentic human sexuality? That is the question Judith and Jack Balswick set out to answer in this wide-ranging and probing book. Informed by sociology, psychology, and theology, the Balswicks investigate how human sexuality originates both biologically and socially. They lay groundwork for a normative Christian interpretation of sexuality, show how authentic sexuality is necessarily grounded in relationships, and explore such forms of “inauthentic sexuality” as sexual harassment, pornography, and rape. Since its first publication, Authentic Human Sexuality has established itself as a standard text at numerous colleges and seminaries. Now this third edition features updated theological and social science research, insights from current neuropsychological evidence, and an expanded biblical model of authentic sexual relationships, along with updated discussion of sexual minorities, same-sex attraction, and LGBTQ issues. A new generation of students, pastors, psychologists, and sociologists engaged in counseling will be indebted to the Balswicks for this study of an endlessly fascinating and perplexing facet of human identity.

Sexual brokenness permeates our culture and has found its way into the church. Even though Christians are called to value and celebrate sexuality as sacred and good, it is often a source of fear, shame, or secret sin.But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Healthy sexuality concerns what we pursue, not just what we avoid, so Redeemed Sexuality invites emerging adults to seek sexual maturity and discipleship in the context of community. As we experience love, joy, and intimacy with God and others, sexual shame and sin lose their power.
Integrating theology, psychology, and spiritual formation, participants engage the process of transformation by
practicing vulnerability
embracing their identity in Christ
learning healthy intimacyIncorporating peer-to-peer leadership, this field-tested small group curriculum is suitable for use in both men’s or women’s groups. The process is neither linear nor easy, but change is possible because Christ is able. The only question is, Do you want to be healed?

Sacred Sex : Embracing Your Sexuality As God Designed It
$7.99Sex isn’t everything that the world makes it out to be. It’s more.
This is a book about sex, for those who think about it. And if we’re honest, that’s everyone. Sex dominates our popular culture to a degree we’ve never seen before. Our world tells us that our sexuality is ours to do with as we please. Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase YOLO – You Only Live Once! We’re meant to believe that since we only have one life, we should do whatever it is that we want with that life. But if we only have one of something, shouldn’t that mean that we treat it with care and use it as it was designed to be used? God tells us that our sexuality is valuable and needs to be treated as such. The unrestricted sex of our culture is only a shortcut to personal fulfillment and, sadly, a cheapened imitation of the real thing.
Pastor Tony Evans refuses to let the voice of God be drowned out amidst the clamor of the crowd. Crafting an argument that draws on everything from the basic science of hormones to the original Hebrew language used in the Bible to describe sex, you will discover why your sexuality is so important and why misusing it can be devastating.
Whether you are single or married, discover how to enjoy true intimacy – the real fulfillment and satisfaction that God intended.

Satan Sex Strategies
$37.48This book speaks to serious sexual issues affecting marriages, church fellowships, and business relationships, due to the impact of the sex explosion upon society. The effects of spirit sex, self-sex, and same-sex is discussed in details, whilst exposing the new breed of seductive women in the church, called She Devils, who use animism to undermine sexual performance and influence many Christians to compromise their sexual purity and leadership integrity. Satan has released many perverse spirits into schools, churches, families, and businesses, seductively trapping leaders, family members, and children with varied lusts that rearrange their thinking, reorient their sexuality, and exploit their weaknesses, thereby corrupting their morality and spirituality. Satan Sex Strategies reveals how Satan uses his sex demons to undermine man’s self-control, manipulate his desires, and weaken his resolve, leading mankind to the pandemic spread of the HIV/AIDS virus. This book can save your marriage, family, ministry, and business.

Is It Lust Or Legalism
$18.73A recent survey indicated that 90% of Christians questioned, struggle with lust. What really is lust? Is all sexual desire, attraction, and arousal sinful? What about about masturbation and sexual fantasy? In Is it Lust or Legalism? Discerning the Differences between Sexuality, Sensuality & Sin, Pastor Brad Watson looks again at these pertinent questions from a fresh perspective. Sexuality and sensuality are not intrinsically evil, and should be integrated together with a highlycommitted, Christ-centered faith. This breakthrough book exposes the poor anti-body, anti-sex, antipleasure theology that has historically steeped the Church in legalism, separated her unnecessarily from culture, and hindered her from impacting the world. God’s people are challenged to embrace an “incarnational Christianity”-filled with grace and freed from legalism-which beckons normal, culturally-relevant, 21st century people into a world-impacting, radical witness for Christ.

Erotic Justice : A Liberating Ethic Of Sexuality
$30.00Ethicist Marvin Ellison argues compellingly that current crises in family, personal life, and sexuality are related to our culture’s prevailing attitudes about human sexuality. According to Ellison, the culturally sanctioned power dynamics involved in sexuality are a form of social oppression and share common ground with racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and cultural elitism. He proposes a liberating Christian ethic of erotic justice that goes beyond the prevailing patriarchal paradigm. This ethic at once affirms sexuality’s positive role in life and acknowledges that issues of justice and love are identical.
