Truth sets people free; lies keep them bound. One deceptive web Satan spins to capture today’s Christians is a sexualized body. This falsehood traps multitudes in the devastating social evils of pornography, sex addictions, body-shame issues and a growing array of sexual excesses, aberrancies and abuses. For years, many pulpits zealously communicated this sex-focus, sanctimoniously translating it as a “holy” body shame. Such preaching tragically confirmed society’s sexual objectification of our bodies, which were meant to be temples of the Holy Spirit. Such false language has only reinforced our wayward culture’s sexualized treatment of God’s embodied image. My prayerful hope is that this novel’s presentation of the naked truth will help God’s people abandon the unwholesome, sexually-obsessed religious lie they grew up with and to adopt the emancipating truth of a godly, Creator-honoring, mature and healthy body acceptance.
As both a nude art model and a Christian, I was more interested than most in this book. It kept me reading and thinking throughout. I don’t read many faith-based novels as I think they are usually too on-the-nose regarding dialogue and in their conveyance of a message, and there is some of that here. But the subject of body freedom intertwined with it makes up for it.
Well written. As a reader of mostly non fiction I found this book to be enjoyable and would like to see other works from this author. It was informative and heartfelt. I highly recommend this book.
