This paints a very backwards image of what sex really is. It starts with their understanding of Genesis and the two creation accounts described. They choose several verses and use them to make 7 points about the differences between men and women, only one of which demonstrates any kind of thoughtful understanding of what Genesis is really about. They actually say that man was created with a need (sex) and woman was created to fill that need. Ahh!Dec 29, 2010
MY REVIEW:Dec 06, 2012

I debated whether or not I should even list this book, based in its subject, but its about sex within marriage and other marriage related issues and this is nothing to be embarrassed about. I highly recommend this book to all Christian wives. It is very uplifting, encouraging and insightful as well as convicting.May 05, 2015
I would whileheartedly recommend this book to married women or premarrieds. With society's view of sex, women need to know what God has to say about the issue. God created it and it is good. I think these women cover this topic with grace and care.Apr 17, 2008
I can't say enough good things about this book. I've laughed, I've cried and I've rejoiced in a subject that I had no idea I could. It covers such topics as:Mar 07, 2016
Good book for a christian perspective on sexuality and some difficult issues women may face around the topic.Oct 24, 2016
An amazing book! It even addresses bad attitudes and bad thought patterns that we can all fall into. To see our self worth through God's eyes, strive to be godly wives, and to strive to draw ever closer to our husbands.Apr 03, 2016
As a Biblical Counselor, I recommend this book as a conversation starter for older women discipling younger married women, or for a woman who doesn't have that older godly woman in her life. It won't answer all questions, but it will help you get a little more comfortable with asking them.Apr 10, 2008
A great book that I often use for reference in times of struggle. It is grounded in Scripture, but draws from real experiences and is honest and real about issues that we all deal with...especially those that are often swept under the rug at church.Sep 10, 2011
This book gave very thoughtful, real world advice on being sensuous with your husband, and why a healthy, loving physical relationship between husband and wife is pleasing to God. I have read it several times, and will continue to refer to it. Also great for group discussion in women's ministries.Apr 11, 2011
I read this book as a group Bible study. The book gives a good overview of Biblical views of sex within marriage- a topic I never gave much thought. This book has opened some lines of communication within my marriage and improved the quality of my marriage (which was already great!).Dec 01, 2013
A bold and uncompromising book. Enlightening and fearless.Jul 21, 2012
This book was recommended to me by a friend as something I should read before getting married. The book truly opened my eyes to the beauty of God's plan for intimacy between a husband and wife. I look forward to studying further the passages of God's Word that are referenced in the book and someday to experiencing the joy of intimacy with my own husband.Mar 15, 2012
I challenge any married Christian woman to read this book and find some new reason or way to spice up the intimacy with her spouse. It's a great reminder to cherish one's husband, placing him second in priority only to God, and explains in detail why sex is so important between a husband and wife. I also challenge you to talk about what you've read in this book with your husband.Jul 10, 2008
I consider this book pretty 'open' for all stages of Christian faith and all level of age of Christian women.Feb 04, 2016
My husband and I work with engaged and newly married couples in our church and this book is a must read for anyone engaging in this type of ministry. It is honest, yet compassionate, and gives great advice for any question dealing sex and intimacy. I will definitely be using this as a great reference tool for our couples.Mar 22, 2013
I'm not married yet, but I found this book very helpful. It touches on a lot of taboo topics. What I liked most about this is that a lot of what is discussed can be applied to more than just a sexual relationship with your husband. It touches on things like communication with him, but also dealing with personal issues as well. I can see myself referencing this in the future. I listened to the audiobook. The narration wasn't my favorite. At times one of the narrators seemed a bit condescending, I'm not married yet, but I found this book very helpful. It touches on a lot of taboo topics.

Such a WONDERFUL book for married Christian women. The book is about 21 questions Christian women ask about sex. The two women that wrote the book are 'students of scripture' who "want to know God and reveal him in every aspect of life including sex". The answers to the questions are based on scripture and what questions 1,000 women wanted to ask about sexual relationships between a husband and wife.

I think this is a book for any woman, whether her intimacy factor with her husband is where they want it or whether she feels intimacy could be improved. The Biblical verses selected to go with each idea enhanced the book so much, and not in a preachy, condescending way. During the first few chapters, I gained so much understanding of God's creation of sex in a marriage, things I hadn't thought about that way before. The suggested prayers were powerful and on target based on what the chapter was I think this is a book for any woman, whether her intimacy factor with her husband is where they want it or whether she feels intimacy could be improved.

I'm happy anytime I can find any Christian literature on sex and the naughty bits of intimacy that we seem to shy away from as a culture. I respect the author's attempt at bringing up taboo topics within the church but wish we still didn't carry such a shameful approach to sex in general. Sex is super fun and awesome and there's nothing shameful about it in the right, safe contexts, I just wish we as a culture of mature Christians could speak about it more freely, openly and honestly and bring a I'm happy anytime I can find any Christian literature on sex and the naughty bits of intimacy that we seem to shy away from as a culture.

Sex is super fun and awesome and there's nothing shameful about it in the right, safe contexts, I just wish we as a culture of mature Christians could speak about it more freely, openly and honestly and bring a good, God given act fully into the light. But it's a sensitive, intimate issue and with that in mind, the book is well written and plenty "safe" for the good Christian women of the world. Now all y'all out there who have a spouse to make love to, go get busy! ...moreAug 23, 2015
I read this book to help prepare for a Sunday School class I was teaching to Mother's of Young Children on the subject of Sex, Romance, and Purity. I found the book to be well written and interesting. The questions covered a broad area of material from a medical , emotional, and spiritual perspective . I liked how the subject matter was divided into 3 sections - simmering, smoldering, and sizzling, ranging from General - what does God think about sex ?

Something I really like about this author is that she seems to write Christianity in a way that seems both modern and relevant, and not at all stuffy. Her books have accompanying bible studies, which I think would be interesting but I couldn't really see myself in a bible study with a bunch of women about SEX (though I would like it very much, to be totally candid). I think one of the problems I face as a Christian is a loneliness, like how you make Christianity pervasive in your life without Something I really like about this author is that she seems to write Christianity in a way that seems both modern and relevant, and not at all stuffy.

I think one of the problems I face as a Christian is a loneliness, like how you make Christianity pervasive in your life without potentially driving other people away or causing them to take every single possible opportunity to point out your inevitable hypocrisy?

I found this book at a thrift store and figured I'd read it to see what it had to say. I'm glad I did! Being raised in a very conservative Christian home, the marriage relationship was not discussed, and I never took the time to study God's Word to find out what He had to say. This book addresses questions of all kinds, with answers coming straight from the Bible. Like all Christian books, you read it, chew on it, spit out the bones, etc, but it was an encouragement to me to see what God has to I found this book at a thrift store and figured I'd read it to see what it had to say.
