Product Description
Review
"Bell raises the bar with this evocative follow-up to last year's bestseller Velvet Elvis?.Bell's book isn't a sex manual, an exploration of the differences between men and women, or a marriage how-to, though all of that is here. Instead, it's the story of God becoming human, of humans mirroring God, and love made manifest in the messiness of our humanity. Sex God is about relationships revealed in a way that elevates the human condition and offers hope to those whose relationships are wounded. In Bell's spare, somewhat oblique style, he addresses lust, respect, denial, risk, acceptance, and more. His love for God and the Bible is clear, as is his ability to ask probing questions and offer answers that make readers think deeply about their own lives. He does a fine job using the Bible and real life to show that our physical relationships are really about spiritual relationships. This book joyfully ties, and then tightens, the knot between God and humankind. — Publishers Weekly
Synopsis
Sex, God - You know the two subjects are connected; you just don't have the words for how they are connected. And they cannot be separated. Where the one is, you will always find the other. When you talk about sexuality, you quickly end up in the spiritual - because "this" is always about "that." Something deeper, something behind it all. You can't talk about sexuality without talking about how we were made, about how we relate to each other and how we were made to relate to each other. That will inevitably lead you to who made us and at some point you have to talk about God. To make sense of the one, we have to explore the other. That is what this book is about.
