As a result, countless people have suffered pain, guilt, and judgment. In this instant bestseller, Nadia Bolz-Weber unleashes her critical eye and her vulnerable yet hopeful soul on the harmful conversations about sex that have fed our shame. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bolz-Weber offers no simple amendments or polite compromises. Instead, this modern-day reverend calls for an inclusivity that empowers us to be loyal to people and, perhaps most important, ourselves. \"Christianity is not a program for avoiding mistakes,\" she writes. \"It is a faith of the guilty.\" With an alternative understanding of Scripture passages that have been weaponized against Christians for decades, Bolz-Weber reminds us that sexual flourishing can and should be for all genders, all bodies, and all humans. She shares stories, poetry, and Scripture that wage war on perpetual anxiety around sex by celebrating sexuality in all its forms and recognizing it for the gift that it is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e If you've been mistreated, confused, angered, and\/or wounded by shaming sexual messages, this one is for you.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNadia Bolz-Weber \u003c\/b\u003efirst hit the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003elist with her 2013 memoir--the bitingly honest and inspiring \u003ci\u003ePastrix\u003c\/i\u003e--followed by the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller \u003ci\u003eAccidental Saints\u003c\/i\u003e in 2015.
