  What if it's not your fault that sex is bad in your marriage? 
   
   
   
  Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don't know what they're missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign. 
   
   
   
  The Great Sex Rescue pulls back the curtain on what is happening in Christian bedrooms and exposes the problematic teachings that wreck sex for so many couples—and the good teachings that leave others breathless. In the #metoo and #churchtoo era, not only is this book a long overdue corrective to church culture, it is poised to free thousands of couples from repressive and dissatisfying sex lives so that they can experience the kind of intimacy and wholeness God intended. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Light of the Word - How Knowing...

  While Christians generally acknowledge that the Bible is God's Word, many of us lack robust confidence in the reality of its trustworthiness. We may not be sure if we really believe what we read. But the more we understand how Scripture came to be, the more we discover its power and truth. 
   
   
   
  Historian Susan Lim unpacks how the history of the Bible bolsters our faith and anchors us through the changing tides of time. The story of Scripture, while messy and complicated at times, is also the story of how God shepherded his people throughout the centuries in and through these writings. Lim explains how Christians came to accept certain documents as inspired and not others, and how the books we now call the Bible came to be assembled and canonized as authoritative. The same Spirit of God who oversaw the writing of Scripture continues to be at work actively in us in our receiving and reading of it, to grow us in faith and maturity. 
   
   
   
  Those of us who confess that Jesus is Lord can also confess with confidence that Scripture is God's Word. As the church through the ages has received and passed down the sacred Scriptures, so too can we receive for ourselves the living Word that God still speaks through today.

  Humor - The Joyful Perspective -...

  Humor is a powerful tool that can shape our perspectives, influence our emotions, and improve our well-being. It is more than just a way to entertain or amuse; humor has the ability to impact the body and mind in profound ways. When we laugh, it triggers the release of endorphins, the brain’s natural feel-good chemicals. These endorphins create a sense of happiness and well-being, helping to reduce stress, lower anxiety, and even enhance our immune system. Laughter, in its simplest form, is an emotional release, and it allows us to cope with the difficulties of life more effectively. 
  The power of humor lies in its ability to shift our perspective. When faced with challenges or setbacks, humor provides a fresh lens through which we can view the situation. It encourages us to laugh at the absurdity of our troubles, allowing us to detach from the weight of negative emotions and gain a sense of control over the situation. This shift in perspective is not only liberating but also empowering, as it opens up new possibilities for problem-solving and resilience. Humor gives us permission to not take life too seriously, helping us maintain a sense of lightness even in the face of adversity. 
  Beyond its psychological benefits, humor also plays a vital role in social bonding. It brings people together, breaking down barriers and fostering connection. Shared laughter creates a sense of belonging, helping us relate to one another in meaningful ways. Humor can bridge gaps between cultures, generations, and backgrounds, making it a universal language that transcends differences. It helps us navigate difficult social situations and enhances our ability to communicate effectively.
