The Intimate Connection: Male Sexuality Masculine Spirituality

This is not a book about so-called 'real men'; it is a book about what James Nelson calls 'whole men'. In the years leading up to the 1990s, men had begun to seriously question their traditionally held roles and values. The women's movement, popular books, and male images on television and in films had all contributed to men's uncertainty about themselves. In the mid-eighties there was a major shift taking place in the perception of sexuality. At that time Nelson asserted that men and women seek something the sexual revolution did not provide: an understanding of the true meaning of love. This, he claimed, was the unfinished business of that revolution. NOTE: To support its conclusions, the book contains some candid discussion of sexual issues. While not gratuitous, they may contain offensive elements to some readers.
