The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended by Sheila Wray Gregoire

The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended by Sheila Wray Gregoire, Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach, and Joanna Sawatsky

What if it’s not your fault that sex in your marriage isn’t what you’ve hoped for? Based on a groundbreaking survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue uncovers the secrets to what makes some marriages thrive while others struggle. Generations of women have been taught messages that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been given a distorted view of sex. This book seeks to correct those harmful teachings and restore a biblical view of sex, one where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign.

Features Include:

• Groundbreaking Research: The book draws on an in-depth survey of 22,000 women, revealing how church culture and teachings have negatively impacted many Christian marriages.
• Biblical Approach to Sex: Redefines what a healthy, mutually fulfilling sex life should look like according to Scripture, with an emphasis on respect, love, and intimacy.
• Corrective Teaching: Exposes the damaging evangelical teachings that harm sex lives, offering healing, hope, and practical insights for couples to restore and deepen their sexual intimacy.

Why This Book Stands Out:

• A Much-Needed Conversation: A timely and honest discussion about sex in the Christian community, exposing harmful cultural narratives and providing the freedom to experience the intimacy and wholeness that God intended.
• A Guide for Couples: Whether you’re struggling with mismatched desires or looking to reignite the passion in your marriage, The Great Sex Rescue offers practical advice, backed by research, to help couples transform their sexual relationships.
• Endorsed by Experts: Praised by Rachael Denhollander, Kristin Kobes Du Mez, and Andrew J. Bauman for its authenticity and relevance to the #metoo and #churchtoo movements.
