Sexual abuse, sex addiction, gender confusion, brokenness, and shame plague today's world, and people are seeking clarity and hope. By contesting long-held cultural paradigms, this book equips you to see how sexuality is rooted in the broader context of God's heart and his work for us on earth.

It provides a framework from which to understand the big picture of sexual challenges and wholeness and helps you recognize that every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one. It shifts the paradigm from combating sexual problems to confidently proclaiming and modeling the road to sacred sexuality.

Instead of arguing with the world about what's right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical resource equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness - your own or someone else's.

Beautiful and needed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 7, 2023

Dr. Juli Slattery has courageously and eloquently opened up the topic we must critically address in discipling the current and coming generations. With biblical truths and statistical research, she highlights the need for sexual integrity in the church, which starts with what we believe about God and His design written within our sexuality. Thank you, Juli.

A 'Must Read' for every Christian!

This is an amazing book! It is candid and compels you to think about your relationship to God and your sexuality in a completely different way. Dr. Slattery demonstrates through scriptures how our sexuality is connected to our spirituality and that God designed it thusly for a reason. After reading this book, I'm convinced the church should offer sex education classes, and not just for teenagers. Married, singles, young & mature will benefit from the principles discussed here. It's a blessing.

Truly, one of the most important books of our time for understanding God's design for sexuality

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 12, 2018

Rethinking Sexuality is an engaging, unique, and needed resource for gaining a deeper understanding of God's design for sexuality. In a world that is quick to define sex for us, give us innumerable images of counterfeit forms of it (via porn), and lead us toward a "me-based" understanding of it, Rethinking Sexuality is a gentle yet thorough expose of all God intended for sex and sexuality since the beginning of time.

I learned so much from this book... about God's covenant love, about the need for a paradigm shift in our understanding of sex (having been taught mostly by the world and rarely by the Church), about how the enemy wants to destroy sexuality (it's that powerful that the enemy targets it), and more. Don't want to give it all away!

Dive into this gem and drink it in slowly. Dr. Slattery's teaching voice is like that of a trusted friend who's been at the feet of Jesus with her own struggles and unmet desires. She's a gentle guide. Let the Holy Spirit reshape all you've thought about sexuality and sex. Learn how to reach others with the truth of the goodness of sexuality and let's see how God may use this book. We are all sexually broken and we can all find meaning and purpose in the gift of sexuality, whether you're married, single, same-sex attracted, wounded, or you've strayed, you'll find hope and healing here.

I pray these truths will reach far beyond our own lives and help the Christian Church become a light to the world desperate for truth about sexuality. And consider the companion study for groups!

I received an advance copy of this book to preview and I'm grateful to be able to share about it! I have also been blessed to meet Dr. Juli Slattery and work with her on some ministry related projects. She's as real as they come. I know you'll enjoy learning from her!

Seek God with wisdom and humility

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

I don’t know why I took so long to read this book! I’ve long been a listener of Juli’s podcast Java with Juli and figured this book would feel like a repeat of what I’ve learned there. However this book challenged me at a deep level to earnestly seek God, to humble myself before Him, to really KNOW His word as a whole and to grow in mercy and humility.
The key to sexual discipleship as Juli lays out is to know God personally at a deep level, to stand in truth AND love and not waver in our reflection of God’s design of sexuality. Our bodies reflect the story of God’s desire to have a deep and knowing relationship with us.
I also loved her theory on sexual discipleship and reaching the people in our lives that God has brought us. As I seek to disciple my five children in a sexually confusing world I feel much better equipped after reading Juli’s book. I also feel more prepared to back why I believe what the Bible teaches about sexuality is true and ultimately beautiful and freeing.

Adds nothing new to the conversation. Not worth the time.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book added absolutely nothing new to the conversation. It felt like a money grab. I only keep books on my bookshelf that are worth passing on to others. This one did not make the cut. For more thoughtful, substantive reading on sexuality from people who have a conservative theology I highly recommend:

Nancy Pearcey's "Love Thy Body"
Ed Shaw's "Same-Sex Attraction and the Church"

or for an author who thoughtfully tries to play mediator between conservatives/progressives:

Andrew Marin "Love is an Orientation"

Truth & Love Unfolded

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

In our world of shifting perspectives and rapidly changing opinions, Dr. Slattery’s writing rises above simple, cliché answers to hot-button sexual issues, and highlights the immutable truth of God’s design for sexuality. For decades, the Christian church has been silent, if not dysfunctional in its response to the painful sexual questions that we all face. With amazing clarity, beautifully mixing grace and truth, the author spotlights WHO God is and WHO we are as humans with solid biblical underpinnings.

Consider this quote: “Sexual questions begin with questions about how we view God, sin, human nature, and the authority of the bible…Differing views on gay marriage, cohabitation, pornography, and divorce aren’t primarily what divide us. These are just the external issues that have exposed what we really believe about God and His Word.” – page 182

Please don’t dismiss this important resource! I’ve been personally challenged to confront my own sexual integrity, the humility and compassion with which I view others, and the way I engage others in sensitive, respectful conversation. Thank you authenticintimacy.org for this bold, insightful book!

Ich habe Dr. Slattery bei "Focus on the family" gesehen und gehört und war überwältigt, wie tief sie in Gottes Wort und Seiner Liebe verwurzelt ist. Danach habe ich nach diesem Buch gesucht. Nachdem ich es gelesen habe, war ich noch mehr bewegt von dem, was sie in ihrem Buch schildert. Es ist der Weg, wie Sexualität heilen und zum Segen nicht nur für den Mann, sondern auch für die Frau werden kann.
Wer seine Vorstellung von Sexualität, die von TV, Internet und seinem Freundeskreis geprägt ist, beibehalten möchte, wird dieses Buch abgrundtief hassen. Wer sich von Gott verändern lassen möchte, wird es lieben.

Nothing much here is new

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is not bad but it is a simple message that could be communicated in a 15 minute video. Most of it is stories which, for some readers is likely ideal but for me is just filler.

As I began to read this book I got really excited and hopeful. It wasn’t easy reading but really important for me. What blew me away was how real, sincere and heartfelt this book is. Julis writing is not only comprehensive it is sincere and powerful.
