Description Raw, intimate, and timely, Nadia Bolz-Weber\'s latest book offers a full-blown overhaul of our harmful and antiquated ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies.
A former stand-up comic and a recovering al.
About the author NADIA Bolz-Weber first hit the New York Times list with her 2013 memoir--the bitingly honest and inspiring Pastrix--followed by the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller Accidental Saints in 2015.
If you\'ve been mistreated, confused, angered, and/or wounded by the shaming Sexual messages so prevalent in religion, this one is for you.
She shares stories, poetry, and scripture, cultivating resilient hope and audacious love rooted in good news that is "powerful enough, transgressive enough, and beautiful enough to heal not only the ones who have been hurt but also those who have done the hurting." In Bolz-Weber\'s most personal, bracingly honest book yet, she shares intimately about her life, with her trademark blend of vulnerability, humor, and candor.
Along the way, as antidotes to shame, heresy, and all-too-familiar injustice, Bolz-Weber dispenses grace, freedom, and courage.
She urges us to take antiquated, sexist ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies and "burn them the fck down and start all over." This is a journey of holy resistance.
Instead, this tattooed, swearing, modern-day pastor calls for a new reformation.
In turn, Bolz-Weber offers no simple amendments or polite compromises, because the stakes are too high--and our souls and our bodies are worth too much.
In the follow-up to her celebrated New York Times bestseller Accidental Saints, Bolz-Weber unleashes her critical eye, her sharp pen, and her vulnerable but hopeful soul on the caustic, fear-riddled, and religiously inspired messages about sex that have fed our shame.
For generations countless people have suffered pain, guilt, and judgment as a result of this toxic fixation on sex, the body, and physical pleasure.
But not in a good way.
Christians are obsessed with sex.
