ReviewsCompassionate, hopeful and biblical. This is a must-read for all Christians, and a great help as we navigate the vital issues around sexuality., In this compelling short read, Ed Shaw poses the question, "What is the purpose of our sexuality?" With courageous honesty, he mines deep into Scripture and brings some incredible gems to light. He unearths how our sexuality is the most graphic imagery for the passion and potency of God's love. Sheer dynamite!, I am so thankful I am a sexual being! Ed's book is a much-needed hurricane of fresh air on the purpose of sexuality. As a single heterosexual woman, I am once more staggered by God's kindness in crafting me with sexual desire so that I may more tangibly appreciate his love for me. Ed's short book is beautifully biblical, richly pastoral and deeply evocative. A glorious vision of human flourishing is to be found within these pages. I am more for having read this., This wise, sensitive book has a great deal to offer all of us as we attend to the desires, questions and struggles arising from our nature as sexual beings. Its contemporary frame of reference, combined with careful reading of relevant biblical texts, makes it all the more valuable., We live in times when things we know and values we hold are changing and in flux. From our humanity to our identity, everything seems up for re-definition. Perhaps it's at the point of our sexuality that this is most vivid and complex. With brilliant clarity, grace-filled empathy, and biblical truth, Ed Shaw helps us understand the plan and purpose of our sexuality and wisely draws us back to the place of healing and redemption which we all truly need., Whether you are confused or frustrated, scared or scarred, Ed Shaw's latest book will help you to find a renewed sense of joy and purpose for your God-given sexuality. Armed with a better understanding of God's purpose for our sexuality, Ed shows how we will be better equipped to navigate the trials and temptations of our sex-obsessed world. It's a book I will be recommending to people in all kinds of different situations., A short, clear and often profound book on one of our generation's most pressing subjects. Ed Shaw has served us superbly with Purposeful Sexuality.

SynopsisIf God means for us to save sex for marriage, why doesn't he just zap us with sexuality on our wedding night? Why do most of us experience sexual feelings throughout our adult lives, not just in the safe confines of marriage? Is limiting marriage to the union of a man and a woman anything but outdated prejudice? What is our sexuality actually for? Today's culture overwhelmingly tells us that sex is essential for human flourishing. Far too often the church perpetuates the same message - as long as you are married. But far from being liberating, this idolising of sex leaves us even more sexually broken than before. With refreshing honesty and clarity, Ed Shaw calls on the church to rediscover its confidence in the Bible's teaching about our ability to experience or express sexual feelings. He points us to how God's word reveals that sexuality's ultimate purpose is to help us better know God and the full power of his passionate love. He shows us how this is surprisingly good news for all our joys and struggles with sexuality., If you're a human being, then you're a sexual being. But what is your sexuality for? That's a question we often struggle to answer because we find it so hard to talk about our powerful and personal sexual feelings - perhaps especially if we're Christians. Ed Shaw explores the Bible's deepest answers to this question in ways that will help everyone to appreciate and enjoy God's purposeful gift of sexuality - whatever your past history, current situation or sexual orientation might be. Book jacket., With healthy and refreshing honesty, Purposeful Sexuality offers a Christian introduction to seeing sexuality as a nourishing source of hope and expression
