About the book:
Christian women don’t have to choose between being sexual and spiritual. They have legitimate longings that the Church has been afraid to talk about, but books like Fifty Shades of Grey exploit. Whether you are single or married, sexually dead or just looking to revive your sex life, Pulling Back the Shades will address your desire to be both sexual AND spiritual.
With solid Biblical teaching and transparent stories, trusted authors Dannah Gresh and Dr. Juli Slattery, offer an unflinching look at the most personal questions women ask. The book offers practical advice for women to address five core longings:
- to be cherished by a man
- to be protected by a strong man
- to rescue a man
- to be sexually alive
- to escape reality

Dannah and Juli have put together a book that addresses 'mommy porn' head on. It's not surprising that they have spoken out against this genre. But what is surprising is the way in which they go about it. Instead of shaming women by telling them they are terrible for reading these types of books they go to the root of why we as women are interested in these books.
They have broken our needs as a fulfilled woman into five different areas and then speak to each area. Through the use of a dialogue style filled with personal stories they 'pull back the shades' and reveal the deeper threat to ourselves and our marriages.
The beautiful thing about this book is that it is filled with hope. We don't have to decide if we want to be spiritual or sexual. In fact we were created to be both. (Ever read Song of Solomon?!!) If you want to experience a rejuvenation in your intimate life, pick this book up. It will provide you with tools to use to revamp how you think about sexual intimacy.

ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your book. This is an important subject that has been taboo within churches too long. I've been fortunate to go to church camp where we were able to discuss sexuality and how both men and women think about it. Thank you for bringing this subject out of the shadows!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you to read the book. It is very thought provoking and empowering. You'll have to come back and let us know what you thought if you get to read it!
DeleteMy best date night memory is when my husband and I went to listen to a band play at the local bar. It was really nice we listened to the band that I liked and just kind of hung out.
ReplyDeleteSome of my absolutely favorite date nights with my husband are just hanging out. Reminds me how much I really like him (I love him too, but I really do like him!). Hope you get to have another night like that soon!!!
DeleteGoing out to dinner and then seeing this terrible play. It was such a terrible play that we couldn't stop laughing about it.
