What would it look like to create healthy marriage advice from the ground up? To go into writing a marriage book with no assumptions, just data? To take Jesus at His word that a good tree can’t bear bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t bear good fruit–so where there is...
What if Emerson Eggerichs is asking men to look nothing like Jesus? Let’s ask a question: What’s the goal of the Christian life? Is it to look more and more like Christ? After all, Romans 8:29 tells us that we are to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus. 1 Peter...
I've got some fun stuff for you today! Several quick things I wanted to share, and I thought I'd do it in a post. First, two new books launched this week that are amazing, and that I wanted to direct your attention to. The Bible vs. Biblical Womanhood by Philip Payne...
I've been talking about this day for so long, and it's finally here! The Launch Team for She Deserves Better launches--for lack of a better word--today! We're so excited to have anyone who has preordered She Deserves Better join us for a whole lot of behind-the-scenes...
Sheila here! When I was planning last week's podcast looking at how the authors and organizations that we critiqued in The Great Sex Rescue had responded to our book, I started making a list of all the things that they had acccused us of. By the end of that effort, I...
Baptist News covered The Great Sex Rescue--and had a great interview with a pastor! One of our frustrations with publicity for The Great Sex Rescue is that mainstream American Christian outlets (magazines, websites, radio shows, etc.) won't cover it. In other...
If we had had these Great Sex Guides before we got married, there would be no Great Sex Rescue. No To Love, Honor and Vacuum blog. No Bare Marriage podcast. Why? Because we wouldn't have had years of pain that we had to untangle from, so I wouldn't have started...
Can I tell you a story about a book--and about me? As most of you know, on March 15 I have two books launching--The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex, which I wrote with my husband, and a completely revised Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex, which will be 10 years old this...
Can we please stop pretending that Love & Respect empowers women? I get the best stuff from readers who send me links, etc.. And this weekend a male reader, who has been doing some research into domestic violence, sent me his notes after watching a YouTube video...
How can you tell if a book, website, or even a church is healthy when it comes to sex teaching, or harmful? My inbox fills up with people asking me what I think of this book, or what I think of that book. And chances are I haven't read it! I don't have time to read...
The Great Sex Rescue has been featured in two amazing places lately--and I wanted to point you to both! First, Relevant Magazine ran an excerpt from chapter 2--so if you'd like a taste of what The Great Sex Rescue is like, this is a great place to start! Our new book...
So, this was kind of big news! The New York Times Book Review actually covered The Great Sex Rescue--in a positive way! It was one of four books looked at in its review "Looking for Sexual Healing." Not overly long, but positive, and we can now say, "As featured in...
We have written the story of the Great Sex Rescue many ways. It is, of course, the book which releases tomorrow. Our survey of 20,000 women, on which that book was based, will also be the basis for our submission to academic journals. And it is, of course, the basis...
Valentine's Day is coming up this weekend, and I thought today I'd give you a personal, and even a private, insight into our love story. I shared a bit on the podcast yesterday, but I'd like to expand on it some. https://youtu.be/HX4l-9urmjw?t=3147 The book that...
It's time for a resource list of books to help you grow more emotionally mature! We're in the middle of our emotional maturity series, and yesterday I was talking about 6 ways to help you grow more emotionally mature and more responsible. I promised that today I'd...
