Sexuality: God's Gift

Endorsements

"This second edition is extraordinarily comprehensive, nuanced, and sensitive—even richer than its predecessor. It is a splendid resource for all Christians who wish to live more deeply in gratitude to God for their own sexuality and to celebrate respectfully the sexuality of others. I highly recommend this volume to anyone who yearns to embody further the unity of spirituality and sexuality our Creator graciously offers us."
—James B. Nelson, professor emeritus of Christian ethics, United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities

"Isn't it sad and strange that the people who believe in incarnation would have such a poor theology of the body? It has been our blind spot for too many centuries, but books like this can help us make up for lost time. Here you will find wisdom that is faith filled, honest, courageous, and truthful to deeper experience. Isn't that what we all want and need?"
—Richard Rohr, Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico

"Sexuality is God's most life-giving and life-fulfilling gift. This revised edition covers the full range of sexuality topics within the faith context of the Mennonite Church. It will be an important contribution to Christians seeking to celebrate their sexuality with holiness and integrity."
—The Rev. Debra W. Haffner, executive director, Religious Institute, Westport, Connecticut

"If you are hoping to open the door in a conservative setting, this book is ideal. If you are seeking to widen the conversation in a progressive setting, this book will assist you in that endeavor. It is appropriate for a variety of learning and exploring opportunities: classes and individual study for both lay and clergy alike . . . Sexuality: God's Gift is an important contribution in helping Christians connect their spirituality and their sexuality."
—Youtha C. Hardman-Cromwell, assistant dean, Wesley Theological Seminary
