The Family Christian Bookstore And Sex…
Comments (0) I’m fairly certain that the clerk at my local Family Christian bookstore is concerned about me. I visit there several time a month and,usually, don’t make it out of the “sex section.”
A few times, I have considered telling her that I am just doing research for my Christian sex site and Christian Marriage & Sex forums, but I have decided that might creep her out even more.
Of course, our books, Sexual Skills For The Christian Husband & Sexual Satisfaction For The Christian Wife, are not sold in Family Christian bookstores, so I don’t have the option of just (accidentally) picking up one of our books and holding the jacket picture up next to my face. And, trust me, if I had that option…I WOULD do it.
Today, I thought I would let you benefit from all of that time that I have spent in the family Christian bookstore; I would give you a short list of my favorite Christian sex books. And, if you happen to be that clerk I’m talking about, now you know what I was doing!
“Old School” (But STILL very good resources):
“The Act Of Marriage” by Timothy and Beverly LaHaye.
This book was written in the seventies, but is still one of the most “technically” and “romantically” correct books on the subject.
“Intended For Pleasure” by Ed Wheat & Gayle Wheat.
This book has the potential to dramatically change your marriage and sex life. It is one of the first (and best) books to strongly advance the idea that sex within a Christian marriage was “intended” (by God) to be for pleasure-not just for procreation.
Newer, Potential Classics:
“Sheet Music” by Kevin Leman.
This book, correctly, deals with the power of sex to create intimacy within your Christian marriage.
“Intimate Issues: 21 Questions Christian Women Ask About Sex” by Linda Dillow.
This book is written for wives and answers many of them most common questions that Chrsitian wives have about sex.
“Sacred Sex” by Tim Alan Gardner.
I sometimes go on rants about how sex was not created just for procreation; sex was also created for your pleasure. But, sometimes I forget to mention the “real” primary reason for sex and sexuality…to bring you and your spouse closer…to a greater “oneness.” This book deals with this concept in a very strong way.
Newest Favorite:
“Sex God” by Rob Bell.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!
As an accidental “Christian sex expert“,I am fascinated with learning how God intended for us to express our sexuality, within His will.
This book is beautifully written and very, very smart.
Get this book!
And, the next time you are in the family Christian bookstore and notice a slightly pudgy guy spending a lot of time in the “sex” aisle, don’t think bad things about him.
