Reviews
"There is an urgent need across the Church for faithful, honest conversations with young people about sexuality. Finally, we have the sturdy resource we need to hold them. Honoring the inherent tension between the beauty and the complexity of the God-given gift of human sexuality, These Are Our Bodies is written for real people with real lives. It invites parents and church leaders into the serious, hopeful work of integrating body and soul."" --Lisa Kimball, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Lifelong Learning, Virginia Theological Seminary ""God gave us the gift of sexuality. Our history of using that gift with the care and love intended is not a good history. This book can be used to begin conversations, enhance existing conversations, and start larger discussions about all aspects of sexuality and its spectrum in God's creation. Of great importance is the inclusion of issues around being LGBTQ+. We fool ourselves if we think our young people are not aware of such things at an early age. Our obligation is to help them build a healthy attitude toward all the variations that occur in human sexuality and learn to appreciate the gifts God gives us. Thank you for undertaking such a major task."" --Bruce Garner, President of Integrity USA ""Breaking down the perceived wall between our bodies and our minds, These Are Our Bodies finally brings sex to the conversation of wellness. Joining with the expanding awareness of the impact of nutrition, mindfulness, and exercise, this book explores the mind-body-soul connection. Our total health requires an honest, open understanding of one another and ourselves as sexual beings. A practical and informational book, These Are Our Bodies serves as a thoughtful, faithful springboard for facilitating meaningful conversations with all ages."" --Heidi Carter Clark, LeaderResources"
