A Journal for Your Life

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book on a topic as old as life itself, awaits authorship by an expert. That would be you. You are the only person, living, dead, or yet to be born, who has experienced sex in the ways that you have thought about, have experienced, or are considering doing. Sex As . . . invites you to create a written, pictorial, and/or collage journal of your sexual life, to be shared with others or not. You will be able to respond to phrases such as: Sex as Love, Sex as Fear, Sex as Healing. The author does not attempt to provide answers or advice. The book is not research, not a 'how-to' book, not a psychological/philosophical/theological volume on sex. Those excellent works can be found in libraries and bookstores. The themed blank pages invite you to tell your truth about this complex reality. As you do so, you may thereby gain new knowledge and freedom.

Autorenporträt

Jeff DeVore, certified life coach and retired chiropractor and ordained Christian minister, always wondered what was really going on. His family of origin, like all families, had its own set of quirks, and Jeff's innate curiosity often pondered, What is really going on here? Family dynamics did not encourage blunt questions from four-year-olds, and Jeff kept his questions to himself. Fascinated by his stirrings of puberty and its exciting sexual urges, Jeff again wondered, What exactly is going on here? When he was eleven, he posted a note on the family bulletin board, "What does the man have to do with having a baby?" and his dad, a chiropractor, gave him a factual, non-shaming, Sex Ed 101 lecture, complete with textbook drawings. Jeff didn't mention his mysterious, frightening, attraction to his male classmates. He suppressed his curiosity about becoming a sex therapist (true Christian people don't need psychology, he was told), tucked his questions and desires away, and pursued classical piano. He married a woman with whom he had three children, became a chiropractor (private practice and clinical educator for twenty-nine years), and an ordained Christian minister (pastoral work for nine years). After nineteen years of marriage, he came out of the closet as a gay man, was divorced, and got on with his life. Human behavior and its motivations and diversity of expressions continued to trigger the question, "What is really going on here?" Wanting to do something positive with his remaining years, Jeff pursued training and was qualified as a certified life coach. He assists and supports people in fulfilling their goals and personal sense of purpose. Drawing on six decades of asking "What is really going on here?" Jeff invites you to discover your own answers to that question as it relates to your sexuality. You are the expert on your sex life, as detailed in the Introduction. As you respond to the pages, may you step into more deeply satisfying love, joy, peace, and yes, sex.
