Sex, Jesus, And the Conversations the Church Forgot by Mo Isom releases TODAY!!! I have followed Mo's story for many years and I enjoyed her first book tremendously so I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to be on the launch team for this new book, Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot!
Before I get into more about the book, I must say that I was cheering Mo on the whole time I was reading this book. She straight up bares her soul in this book. She talks so many details of her life sexually and how that has changed her, shaped her and given her a platform now that God has invaded her life. I especially appreciated that she was open and honest about the struggles she still had even when she became a Christian. I think that so often the portrayal is that you get to know Jesus and then life is peachy. She shares in depth about that and I appreciated her boldness so much.
Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot is an incredible resource for young, old, married, single. It doesn't matter where you are in life, this book can help you. I will say that I felt it was a bit more geared toward females but not overwhelmingly so. Just wanted to add that as an aside.
Mo shares so much of her story in the pages of this new book but she also backs up the truths she shares with scriptures. That is so important always but when talking about sexual issues even more so!
Some of my favorite quotes from the book:
"...Sexual acts always tie souls. They always leave a mark--they were always intended to. Whether we carry them within or without God's design is what determines whether that mark is a seal or a scar, because sexual acts were designed to bind two people."
"Why does it matter what we do with our bodies and who we connect our lives with, sexually? Because you and I were created by a King, a King with a specific guidance and direction for us."
"God calls us, in all ways, to purity and the power of its incredible purpose in our lives."
I also loved that while this book is explicitly about sex and conversations related to that topic, it also applies is so many areas of our lives in relation to purity and I appreciated that tremendously. Great Job, Mo! Everyone go check this book out!
**As a member of the launch team, I received a free e-book.**
