Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections between Sexuality and Spirituality Audiobook

" This is my favorite Rob bell book. As a single male in my twenty's this book was a bit of a breath of re-leaf. I to might not have been able to connect fully with every story or every chapter but it shone a lot of insight on questions and struggles i have had will have and am having. the book takes the endless connection between our sexuality and spirituality from a Christan perspective. Its a nice fun yet heavy read. "

" Bell manages to present the cultural context of creation, relationships, marriage, and yes, sex. Knowing the cultural meanings to Israelites for various statements oft repeated statements, and seemingly vague references, really helped me further understand God's ideas on relationship. Read it with The Shack by William P. Young to broaden your view of what it means to be in relationship with God. "

" Questions many common beliefs about sexuality and I think it is a definite must read for Christians. "

" I figured this book would be steamy. Sex is in the title. It was kind of dry. Yes, it talked about sex, but not a lot. It was OK, but not what I expected. Sex is cool (I'm married). Let's get it on! "

" Very interesting parallels drawn here. My favorite illustration is about how we can replace the work we do with our hands that is not life-giving with work that is life giving and how we are changed in the process! "

" Two observations: 1) despite all its genuine insights, this book doesn't really ever talk about gay people, which seems weird for a book titled Sex God and 2) it's important to read the endnotes! (I just waited until the end and read them all at once. That may not work for everyone.) "

" One of the best books I've ever read on relationships and spirituality. "

" A very nicely done piece on Christianity and sexuality. This is a topic that more Christian leaders need to read and think through to teach to their friends and circles of influence. Ignoring the fact that we are sexual beings does not help anyone... Rob does a great job of thinking holistically. "

" This was my favorite of Rob Bell's books. I especially love the concept of "living in the tension"...it seems the best way to live is always the most difficult in terms of our relationships. "

" Liked it, but it reads like a conversation more than a book. Bell insists that our sexuality and our spirituality are intricately connnected. "

" I love this book. It's deeply thoughtful, and even though it's aimed at a Christian reading audience, I think all of us who write and think about sex and its meaning in society can benefit from it. It's also lovely to read, not all preachy and negative. "

" I have never had more people just happen to ask me what I was reading when I was reading this book... "

" I loved how Rob explains Jewish traditions in their relation to stories in the Bible. These parallels helped me to understand how God sees His relationship with us as a marriage. "

" This book was wonderful in a completely different way than what I expected. Didn't really do anything different for me in the way of relationships, but gave me a greater appreciation for our intimacy with Christ.THAT part was amazing to me. That and the Chuppah! "

" Great book! I though Rob Bell did a great job with what the title said the book was going to do: exploring sexuality with spirituality in a nice and appliable way. "

" What a title! But Rob Bell is engaging and conversational as he delves into our creation as sexual beings and how everything in our lives has to do with that. Awesome read "

" bell is brilliant "

" WOW- I dont even know what to think about this one...... "

" Extremely interesting book. Though provoking to say the least. Loved the connections Bell makes between sexuality and spirituality while tying in our culture. A very relevan book. "

" This is a fairly classic collection of thoughts by Rob Bell. Several out of the box ideas, but not as thought provoking as Jesus Wants To Save Christians. Still a must read for this that are encouraged by his teachings. "

" Don't let the title scare you. This is an excellent, excellent book! "

" I figured this book would be steamy. Sex is in the title. It was kind of dry. Yes, it talked about sex, but not a lot. It was OK, but not what I expected. Sex is cool (I'm married). Let's get it on! "

" Bell brings Christian theology into the 21st century with this very candid and interesting insight into the interdependent relationship between God spirituality and sexuality. I highly recommend this book. "
