Why read it?

2 authors picked The Great Sex Rescue as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Most faith-based books on sex focus on male desire, male need, and how wives are supposed to please their men. I find this unhelpful, boring, and unbiblical. Much of what passes as “Christian understanding” with regard to sex in marriage is influenced by culture and drive-by pornography. Gregoire’s book is specific (like really specific), respectful, and empowering. 

This deep dive into the ways that the church has impacted women’s sexuality had me shaking my head and reading passage after passage to my husband. Reading The Great Sex Rescue will help you realize how many lies you have believed about sex so that you can begin to embrace the truth. Move from a mindset of duty and helping your husband manage his sexuality, and choose to love each other, share yourself and embrace God’s freedom.
