Shameless: A Sexual Reformation

Shameless: A Sexual Reformation
- NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Raw, intimate, and timely—a no-holds-barred celebration of our bodies that flies in the face of antiquated ideas about sex and gender.
Raw, intimate, and timely, Nadia Bolz-Weberâ€™s latest book offers a full-blown overhaul of our harmful and antiquated ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies.
Â
Christians are obsessed with sex. But not in a good way. For generations countless people have suffered pain, guilt, and judgment as a result of this toxic fixation on sex, the body, and physical pleasure. In the follow-up to her celebrated New York Times bestseller Accidental Saints, Bolz-Weber unleashes her critical eye, her sharp pen, and her vulnerable but hopeful soul on the caustic, fear-riddled, and religiously inspired messages about sex that have fed our shame.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â In turn, Bolz-Weber offers no simple amendments or polite compromises, because the stakes are too highâ€”and our souls and our bodies are worth too much. Instead, this tattooed, swearing, modern-day pastor calls for a new reformation. She urges us to take antiquated, sexist ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies and â€œburn them the f*ck down and start all over.â€
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â This is a journey of holy resistance. Along the way, as antidotes to shame, heresy, and all-too-familiar injustice, Bolz-Weber dispenses grace, freedom, and courage. She shares stories, poetry, and scripture, cultivating resilient hope and audacious love rooted in good news that is â€œpowerful enough, transgressive enough, and beautiful enough to heal not only the ones who have been hurt but also those who have done the hurting.â€
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â In Bolz-Weberâ€™s most personal, bracingly honest book yet, she shares intimately about her life, with her trademark blend of vulnerability, humor, and candor. If youâ€™ve been mistreated, confused, angered, and/or wounded by the shaming sexual messages so prevalent in religion, this one is for you.
