God and sex go together. You cant separate the two, says Rob Bell, because this physical world is intimately linked to deeper spiritual realities. And so, in order to make sense of sexuality, at some point you have to talk about God. With beauty and unusual insight, Sex God explores this connection.
Bell raises the bar with this evocative follow-up to last years bestseller Velvet Elvis. Is sex a picture of heaven? he wonders. Its all about God and sex and heaven, he says,
theyre connected. And they cant be separated. Where the one is you will always find the other. Bells book isnt a sex manual, an exploration of the differences between men and women or a marriage how-to, though all of that is here. Instead, its the story of God becoming human, of humans mirroring God and love made manifest in the chaos of our humanity. Sex God is about relationships revealed in a way that elevates the human condition and offers hope to those whose relationships are wounded. In Bells spare, somewhat oblique style, he addresses lust, respect, denial, risk, acceptance, and more. His love for God and the Bible is clear, as is his ability to ask probing questions and offer answers that make readers think deeply about their own lives. He does a fine job using the Bible and real life to show that our physical relationships are really about spiritual relationships. This book joyfully ties, and then tightens, the knot between God and humankind. Publishers Weekly
