Sex, God, and the Conservative Church guides psychotherapy and sexology clinicians on how to treat clients who grew up in a conservative faith—mired in sexual shame and dysfunction—and who desire to both heal and hold on to their faith orientation. The author first walks clinicians and readers through a critique of Western culture and the conservative Christian Church, and their effects on intimate partnerships and sexual lives. The book provides clinicians a way to understand the faulty sexual ethic of the early church, while revealing the hidden mystical sex and body positive understanding of sexuality of the Hebrew people. The book also includes chapters on strategies for a new sexual ethic, on clinical steps to heal religious sexual shame, and on specific sex therapy interventions clinicians can use directly in their practice. Finally, it offers a four step model for healing religious sexual shame and actual touch and non-touch exercises to bring healing and intimacy into a person's life.

Brilliant booklet. I loved that it is simple, to the point and understandable while being enjoyable with memorable amusing anecdotes. I bought several books to give to friends this Christmas

Pastors, BUY this book!
Hands down one of the best books I've ever read as a pastor. It applies the gospel deeply and beautifully to the heart. An enjoyable yet pentrating read. Rewards with every re-read.
Searching for Grace
Nathanael Small
A very useful tool to live a more centred life...
...I've used lots of different journals and planners throughout my life, and am currently using this one along with three others as they all serve different purposes.
The daily, weekly and monthly rhythms serve to keep me grounded and anchored, ensuring my focus for that period of time is on Christ and His Kingdom.
I especially appreciate the daily structure, which takes you from Scripture (I use YouVersion's verse of the day), to pray, to thankfulness, to focus for the day.
A bargain at this price - well worth the investment!
The Resilient Rhythms Journal

VALUE!
A very conveniently sized copy of the complete NIV Bible, this is importantly a BLACK LETTER EDITION, essential for those with colour vision issues. These are not easy to find so this one was a delight. The price, though a secondary consideration, was also a lovely surprise.
