For many, sexuality is one of those pockets. Christians are confused about God's views on sex and intimacy. In today's culture, we struggle to grasp the meaning or purpose of our sexuality. We don't know how to make sense of our temptation, shame, brokenness, longings, or desires. What is more, Christian churches and families are divided in the nuances of sexuality, neglecting Jesus' most important call to be unified as His body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecognized expert in biblical sexuality Dr. Juli Slattery brings her years of experience, biblical knowledge, and passion for the Lord in applying the call of Christians to surrender their views, questions, and pain to the God who changes everything. \u003cem\u003eSurrendered Sexuality\u003c\/em\u003e provides a clear, biblical understanding of the significance of our sexuality and the transformational power of Christ. Readers discover how Jesus gave His life not primarily to change behavior, but to renew our identity—which is rooted in our union with Christ, not our wounds, feelings, desires, past or present sins, or purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're living amid tremendous cultural confusion and pain. But we will not be able to offer life and hope without the fire of God's love first passing through us. \u003cem\u003eSurrendered Sexuality\u003c\/em\u003e provides the biblical wisdom, help, and encouragement we all need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. July Slattery is the president and cofounder of Authentic Intimacy, a ministry helping people make sense of God and sexuality.

I recommend this book to all my brothers and sisters in Christ—and even those exploring the Christian faith who grapple with the effects of sexual brokenness. As Juli states in the book, 'Sexuality is never a neutral issue in our relationship with God.' And \u003cem\u003eSurrendered Sexuality\u003c\/em\u003e is God's loving invitation to every Christian.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Daughtery\u003c\/strong\u003e, founder of Be Broken Ministries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"For such a time as this—\u003cem\u003eSurrendered Sexuality\u003c\/em\u003e is a needed book to help navigate sexuality in a time and world marked by sin, confusion, and disunity.

Dr. Juli Slattery offers what so many singles long for but rarely receive: compassionate, theologically rooted guidance that doesn't shy away from hard questions. It's not a book about repressing sexuality—it's about redeeming it. In a church culture that often only addresses sexuality in the context of marriage, this book is a refreshing and needed voice.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eKait and JJ Tomlin\u003c\/strong\u003e, dating coaches, bestselling author, founders of Heart of Dating\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAdditional Information:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover: Softcover\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 208\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Moody Publishers\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slattery, Juli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46873646137585,"sku":"9780802435170","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/8731\/8425\/files\/9780802435170.png?v=1756907273","url":"https:\/\/reformedbookservices.com\/products\/surrendered-sexuality-how-knowing-jesus-changes-everything","provider":"Reformed Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
