Go out and pick up this book today!!! "Sex God" by Rob Bell. Amazing read, very fast. Rob is dead on when it comes to his connections, his assertions, and his challenges. Everyone who is at least somewhat interested in human sexuality being informed by the creative ways of God in that sexuality should read this book. You will be challenged as you will be just as blessed. What is inspiring to me is that Rob takes these notions of "caution" we have with sexuality and brings them into a focus and probes them out in the light of the overwhelming presence of God in our own sexual makeup. For Rob, sexuality is more than the act; it encompasses and informs the whole person. Sexuality is deeply connected with who we are on the inside, who we are in the heart. I also appreciate that Rob addresses the destructive issues of objectification and the dehumanizing of people. Definitely two of the most hurtful and demeaning things we are capable of with each other. How do we begin to reorient ourselves into the viewpoint of God, so that we do not easily and carelessly practice objectifying and dehumanizing each other? Overall, Rob addresses sexuality in a healthy way, in an authentic way, and in a faithful way. Another excellent book from a genuine voice who speaks prophetic truth...the needed truth that asks us to question, "Why aren't we willing to listen to that truth?" It's about time someone came out with a book that addressed sexuality without any attached agenda to it...and looked at it holistically and guiltlessly. It's about time we started to hear a voice that speaks love and healing into our wiring of sexuality among the oceans of negative caution, avoidance, intolerance, and scare tactics! Thank you Rob.
