Who are you as a sexual person? Has the "virginity cult" affected sexual wholeness in the church? Is masturbation permissible in God's sexual economy? In his final work published posthumously, Dr. Doug Rosenau's candid and compassionate words are specifically dedicated to the individual living in singleness, though they read like a letter to the postmodern church.

Who are you as a sexual person? Has the "virginity cult" affected sexual wholeness in the church? Is masturbation permissible in God's sexual economy? In his final work published posthumously, Dr. Doug Rosenau's candid and compassionate words are specifically dedicated to the individual living in singleness, though they read like a letter to the postmodern church. Responding to exhaustive cultural and religious messages that hyper-sexualize and suppress sexuality, Rosenau laments the misguiding of many seeking to understand the purpose of their sexual nature. In a genre of books relating to theology and sexuality, Rosenau's is set apart. He resists providing black and white answers to coping behaviors. Rosenau won't give you a blanket declaration that masturbation is right or wrong. Instead, he asks all thought-provoking questions - the grand questions behind the obvious that equip each reader to uncover an answer. Still, he doesn't shy away from answers to the hard questions like, "How far is too far?" What is the true cost of pornography? Is it okay to be friends with benefits?" This twenty-two-chapter compilation will influence a pursuit of sexual wholeness for anyone, single or married; those who want to be and those who don't wish to find a spouse. Rosenau explains that our need for intimacy that is inextricably linked to our humanity. Topics include: · Friendship Sexuality· Righteous flirting· A Theology of Masturbation· What Do I Do with All My Sexual Energy?· Viruses That Can Destroy Healthy Intimacy· God's Sexual ER Through logical, emotional, and spiritual outworking of the biblical roadmap Rosenau constructs, he explains that one is indeed whole number. He exposes the pain behind sexual brokenness and the fierce grip it can seemingly claim upon us. But when you meet the God of Rosenau's faith, you will finally understand why it is never too late to find healing and wholeness. When he introduces and defends what he terms "soul virginity," every reader can reach a greater understanding of why this lifelong pursuit is, in some ways, a great equalizer among women and men, married and single. The sanctity of sex isn't reduced to a single experience or dimension. As Rosenau uncovers its true meaning, we are introduced to a complex and rich character of a loving God who invites us to meet him in the most vulnerable, naked, and spiritual of places. Ultimately, this is a message of hope and healing. It's an invitation is to be part of building a community from one that is deeply fractured - one that fights for freedom for the individual as it reaches for God's design for a community that reflects inclusion while it honors the exclusive nature of true sex.
