Married couples often wrestle with unmet expectations or hurt, while single believers may wonder why God gave them desires they cannot act on. Celibate gay and same-sex-attracted Christians may grapple with pressing questions: \u003ci\u003eAre marriage and procreation the main purpose of sexuality? If so--and if we never marry--what's the point of having sexuality at all?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Gregory Coles and Dr. Julia Hejduk believe our sexuality matters deeply--even for those who are not having sex. In \u003ci\u003eSexuality Beyond Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, friends Greg and Julia explore what our capacity and desire for sex can teach us about being human and, even more importantly, what sexuality can teach us about God. Together they offer the rich gifts of honest dialogue across differences, writing from their unique perspectives as a straight married Catholic woman (Julia) and a gay celibate Protestant man (Greg).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat you'll find in \u003ci\u003eSexuality Beyond Sex\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA unique dual perspective offering a conversation across denominational, gender, and experiential lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn exploration of sexuality encompassing Scripture, church history, and contemporary insights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Christian vision of sexuality for \u003ci\u003eeveryone\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen God created our sexual bodies and called his creation \"very good,\" he wasn't just talking about married people.
