4.9/5 (21181 ratings)

Description:One woman’s journey from extreme sexual repression toward healthy sexual expression. The messages of purity culture taught Eady Jay that abstinence until marriage was the most important moral and goal for her life. But life had other plans.At fourteen Eady was interviewed by Girlfriend magazine about her motivation for abstinence and why others should do the same. She was certain she could wait until her wedding night—just as certain as she was that she would marry young.But by age nineteen Eady was clinically depressed, overweight, and had never had a boyfriend. She felt ugly and believed no one would ever love her. Losing over sixty pounds, Eady still did not attract the relationship she wanted. By age twenty-nine, she had been “three times the bridesmaid, never the bride,” she longed to be.It is possible to long for sex and marriage with desperate intensity and simultaneously repel and self-sabotage healthy sexual expression and a healthy sexual relationship.It wasn’t until Eady Jay was able to grieve sexual trauma and shame, that she began to explore the boundaries of sexual expression. As she swiftly began deconstructing evangelicalism and purity culture, she gradually embraced healthier sexual ethics. May you find comfort in her story so that you can embark on a similar journey to reverse your own sexual repression and heal from shame! “In this raw and gripping memoir, Eady Jay navigates the sexual shame that so many of us were raised with. May her journey to freedom inspire each of us to find our own.”~ Jason Elam, co-author of Parenting Navigating Your Spiritual Evolution Without Leaving Your Family Behind.“Survivors of religious-based shaming around sex, may find hope in Eady’s remarkably open and honest reflection on her own experiences of “purity culture” and her slow, hard-won escape. Any proponents who have begun to waver, will find ample reasons to reject this patriarchal Americanization of Jesus’ Way, in this shattering portrayal of its effect on one woman’s life.”~ Jason John, minister and author of Christian Sex Lessons from Moses, Paul, Jesus and Darwin.“I don't know if I've ever read a more vulnerable and honest book! EDJ bares her soul and sexuality in ways that few others dare to do. This book could change the conversations about Christianity and sex in profoundly important ways!”~ Thomas Jay Oord, Author of God After Deconstruction and other booksWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
