Publisher Description
Sex. In a world overwhelmingly obsessed with it, why is the church so silent about it? While our secular culture twists, perverts, cheapens, and idolizes sex, there are gaping holes in the church's guidance of young people. The result is generations of sexually illiterate people drowning in the repercussions of overwhelming sin struggles.
Enough is enough, says Mo Isom. With raw vulnerability and a bold spirit, she shares her own sexual testimony, opening up the conversation about misguided rule-following, virginity, temptation, porn, promiscuity, false sex-pectations, sex in marriage, and more and calling readers back to God's original design for sex--a way to worship and glorify him. This book is for the young person tangled up in an addiction to pornography, for the girlfriend feeling pressured to go further, for the "good girl" who followed the rules and saved herself for marriage and then was confused and disappointed, for the married couple who use sex as a bargaining tool, for every person who casually watches sex play out in TV and movies and wonders why they're dissatisfied with the real thing, and for every confused or hurting person in-between.
Sex was God's idea. It's time we invited him back into the bedroom.

A must read! Wow!
This was like a raw, open, and honest journey with Jesus and a big sister - Mo! I’m buying a copy for a few friends because Mo’s story of how Jesus redeemed her is so beautiful.
Mo goes deep down into the why of sexual sin. The Bible says sin comes from sinful desires, and Mo addressed that too! But the part that completely blew me away (considering I’m an unmarried 21 year old pursuing the heart of Jesus) was her story about the first days of her marriage! Completely changed my perspective on sexpectations!
Love Love Loved This Book! Definitely going to be reading it yearly.
Real
The words in this book have touched my heart and mind , the Holy Spirit talking through the pages . Moisom has taught me so much about myself as a woman ! How my needs are not sinful, but they should be met at the precious time that God has established . We can enjoy sex under a holy covenant and rules before that are not meant to slave us but rather to protect and form a strong character in each of us. Redemption is available for us even after all of our mistakes . Grace is still here for us to find . We need to love God above everything else because he has been merciful to us . Seek first the kingdom of heaven and everything else will be given to you. God’s will for our lives is far greater and more amazing than anything we can imagine .
Amazing!!
This book was such a great interpretation of Gods love and redemption. It should be read by teens, young adults, single, and married people.
