Xes: Why Church Girls Tend To Get It Backwards...and How To Get It Right - Paperback

by Joy McMillan (Author)

"Great sex is less about how you position your pelvis and more about how you position your heart"

Ever wonder why Christians seem to get left out of the "fun sex" loop?
And what if God actually intended Christians to have the best sex ever?

In a society where it seems sex is talked about everywhere but within the four walls of the church, and where it seems to be sizzling everywhere except the marriage bed, it appears we may have a problem on our hands.

With her signature warmth and transparency, Joy takes on the myths and mysteries of sex and marriage within the Christian subculture.

Through the lens of raw faith, and with the compassion of one who's tasted the shame and regret of sexual brokenness, Joy sets out to debunk some of the lies we believe, expose truth we may have missed and, with refreshing candor straight from the trenches of motherhood, she encourages us to wholeheartedly pursue God's best for our marriages.

You'll discover...
- Why sex is under attack and what you can do to fight back
- How the church has unknowingly misrepresented God's heart on sex
- How to cultivate a safe environment to speak openly about sex with your spouse
- Why carving out time for intimacy, even when you're not in the mood, has the potential to transform your marriage and improve your overall well-being
- Practical ideas & helpful resources to take your intimacy to the next level

Author Biography

Joy McMillan is a freelance graphic designer, writer & conference speaker who has found her home in the heart of Michigan where she obsessively drinks tea, redecorates her space, and enjoys life with her scrumptious hubby, two wee babes, and their 7 friendly chickens.

Joy and her hubby have been involved in leadership & marriage ministry for as long as they've been married (2003), and with one foot planted firmly in the law enforcement world (where thriving marriages appear to be a rarity), they feel a tremendous burden to champion and celebrate God's plan for marriage.

Originally hailing from Southern Africa, Joy's personal story of struggle and redemption fuel her passion to see women set free and living life to the hilt.
