By contesting long-held cultural paradigms, this book equips you to see how sexuality is rooted in the broader context of God's heart and His work for us on earth. It provides a framework from which to understand the big picture of sexual challenges and wholeness, and helps you recognize that every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one. It shifts the paradigm from combating sexual problems to confidently proclaiming and modeling the road to sacred sexuality. Instead of arguing with the world about what's right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical resource equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness--your own or someone else's.

Rethinking Sexuality: God's Design and Why It Matters

Self-Help

Slattery, Dr. Juli

Multnomah

In an update of the groundbreaking original title, Dr. Juli Slattery illuminates&nbsp;the power of women in marriage, with an emphasis on&nbsp;the uniqueness of a woman's capacity to build intimacy. What do you do if your husband won't get a job? When you don't like the way he's parenting the kids? How do you know when to stand up to a controlling husband--or if you've become a controlling or manipulative wife? Many women feel lost in their marriages. They don't know what to do with their disappointment, when to ask for help, or what it looks like to let go of the need to control. Yet, God has given women incredible power in marriage--but they have to learn how to use it. &nbsp;In a complete rewrite of her bestselling book,&nbsp;Finding the Hero in Your Husband, psychologist Dr. Juli Slattery gently guides women to see how their attempts to manage or fix the messiness of marriage may actually undermine the very connection they want to build. As you read this book, you will: <ul> <li>See how disappointment in marriage isn't the end of intimacy, but an opportunity to build true intimacy that will go the distance.</li> <li>Learn to use your relational power in a way that builds intimacy--instead of sabotaging it.</li> <li>Recognize the ways you unknowingly sabotage intimacy by using your power to take over in marriage.</li> <li>Understand what biblical submission&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;and be empowered to step into the influence and responsibility you have within marriage.</li> </ul> Solidly grounded in biblical truth, Juli covers topics such as work, home life, conflict, and intimacy. As a mentor and friend, she offers explanations of God's design, healthy expectations, and relatable applications that women of faith can practice to influence their marriage and deepen their relationship with God. Ultimately,&nbsp;Finding the Hero in Your Husband, Revisited,&nbsp;will help a wife more clearly see and encourage the hero within her husband by examining her own heart.

A Bible study about sex for women? Now that’s different!
This new study, Passion Pursuit: What Kind of Love Are You Making?, lets God’s Word speak about sex as being holy and erotic, blessed by God, and satisfying far beyond what the world can even imagine. Picture that as a headline on the cover of Cosmopolitan! 
By using scripture throughout the Bible, Passion Pursuit not only urges women to pursue passion but details how God has given them permission to do so. Though there is fun to be had along the way in this study, it hits hard on the questions women have but are hesitant to ask, like: 
<ul>
<li>What does God say is okay and not okay in the bedroom? </li>
<li>I’m 54 years old; how can my husband still be attracted to me? </li>
<li>Why did God make men and women so different? </li>
</ul>
This audaciously bold study combines the psychological expertise of Dr Juli Slattery, formerly of Focus on the Family, along with moving stories from trusted Bible teacher and best-selling author Linda Dillow. The groups who have already done this study have seen their marriages come alive, whether they’ve been married four months or forty years; be next!
PLUS! Check out the Passion Pursuit DVD for even more great teaching from Lisa Dillow and Dr. Slattery. It's the perfect resource for individuals or small groups.

A BIBLE STUDY ABOUT SEX FOR WOMEN?! NOW, THAT’S DIFFERENT!
Eye-popping pleasure and soul-to-soul intimacy—that’s what God intended for a husband and wife to experience. But because of issues in our past, damaging information from the world, or incomplete teaching from the church, most of us don’t enjoy these holy gifts.
Passion Pursuit offers a valuable and sacred journey to joy and freedom. Pursuing passion takes time, intentionality, and creativity. Through the use of Scripture, especially from the Song of Solomon, Passion Pursuit not only urges women to pursue passion but also details how God has given them permission to do so. It reveals the power a woman has to build up or to tear down her marriage and how she can deal with her husband’s and her own temptations with empathy and holiness.
This daring ten-week DVD study combines the psychological expertise of Dr. Juli Slattery, formerly of Focus on the Family, along with bestselling author and beloved Bible teacher Linda Dillow. They are from two different generations but share a passion to bring God’s truth and healing to women for their marriages and their lives.

En busca de la pasión: ¿qué clase de amor haces? (Spanish Edition)

Christian women don’t have to choose between being sexual and spiritual. They have legitimate longings that the church has been afraid to talk about, and books like Fifty Shades of Grey exploit and distort them. We need the truth on the matter.
Whether you are single or married, sexually dead or just looking to revive your sex life, Pulling Back the Shades will address your desire to be both sexual and spiritual. With solid biblical teaching and transparent stories, trusted authors Dannah Gresh and Dr. Juli Slattery offer an unflinching look at the most personal questions women ask. The book offers practical advice for women to address five core longings:
<ul>
<li>to be cherished by a man</li>
<li>to be protected by a strong man</li>
<li>to rescue a man</li>
<li>to be sexually alive</li>
<li>to escape reality</li>
</ul>
God designed women with these longings and has a plan to satisfy them. It’s time for women to identify their intimate longings and God-honoring ways to fulfill them.

Pulling Back the Shades: Erotica, Intimacy, and the Longings of a Woman's Heart

Gresh, Dannah

In these pages, you will meet nine courageous women who have agreed to tell their stories, to share with you how they moved from hopelessness and brokenness to hope and healing. Whether from sexual abuse, betrayal in marriage, or other harrowing experiences, the Healer invited them on a unique journey of redemption in the midst of deep pain. He is inviting you, too. 
Linda Dillow and Dr. Juli Slattery, cofounders of Authentic Intimacy, have been writing and ministering to women in the church and clinical context for several decades. Their wisdom and experience overflow in this work to give you a trusted resource in journeying toward healing. 
Includes a study guide for each chapter in the back of the book.

Surprised by the Healer: Embracing Hope for Your Broken Story

A study on sex that goes beyond "just don't do it." 
Sexuality is a hot topic these days, and opinions are all over the place. A resource offering simple “do’s and don’ts” won’t cut it. Sex and the Single Girl fills the gap by providing a broader, more comprehensive understanding of what it means to honor God with our sexuality. This resource will equip single women to understand their sexuality, trust the Lord for redemption and healing, and stand against the cultural trends that marginalize and compromise God’s design for sex. 
Juli Slattery is a clinical psychologist, cofounder of Authentic Intimacy, and author of several popular books, including 25 Questions You’re Afraid to Ask About Love, Sex, and Intimacy. She has devoted the last five years to equipping women with God’s truth about sexuality, and here she drives home the truth that every sexual choice is also a spiritual choice. 
The six-week study is broken down into five days for each week, covering: 
<ul>
<li>
Why Sexuality Matters: The connection between spirituality and sexuality</li>
<li>
Embracing a Grand Design: God’s design and the beauty of living according to His wisdom.</li>
<li>
Sexuality and Your Character: How sexuality is part of worship and Christian identity. </li>
<li>
Sexual Boundaries: A very practical chapter providing a biblical grid for matters like masturbation, oral sex, and how far is too far to go in a dating relationship.</li>
<li>
Battling Temptation: A peak at “the enemy’s playbook,” helping women anticipate, prepare for, and stand against sexual temptation. </li>
<li>
Restoring Intimacy with God: How God can tear down the wall of sexual sin, shame, and confusion through forgiveness and redemption. </li>
</ul>
This study has been tested through pilot groups with college women and other 20somethings. Revised according to their feedback, it is primed and ready to help any single woman think biblically about sexuality, live accordingly, and experience the joy and freedom of doing so. 
Sex and the Single Girl is especially relevant today. One of the greatest threats to the modern church and emerging adults is the distortion of sexual design. Study after study has documented the proliferation of porn use (among both men and women), sexual exploitation on college campuses, experimentation with homosexuality and bi-sexuality, and the acceptability of multiple sexual partners. The average single Christian has received very little teaching on the purpose of sexuality, and a simple “just wait until you’re married” approach won’t cut it. Christian singles need to be equipped with a biblical worldview of sexuality and practical tools for talking it out.
This study, which Slattery created with two women familiar with curriculum development, is ideal for college campuses and small groups. It will prompt discussions on practical topics like sexual temptation, sexual conduct, and responding to cultural thinking on gender issues and sexual autonomy. It is designed to challenge women to examine the assumptions underlying their sexual behaviors and beliefs. The ultimate goal of this resource is to introduce women to an intimate relationship with God who cares about every aspect of her life.
