Sexual Intimacy… On a Shelf In The Church Library.

 I was asked to type up a book review of Pulling Back the Shades for my Church Library.  It’s been about 6 months since I’ve talked about PBTS on my blog, plus I don’t even know if my review will be approved for the church newspaper, so I thought I’d share my little review here with all of you.
Pulling Back the Shades.
This book focuses on a topic we don’t talk about a lot in the church, and that’s sexual intimacy.
Here’s my perspective on this book as a woman in her 20’s.  Late 20’s, yes, but still 20’s.  😉
When I first heard of this book my initial reaction was ‘it is probably lame, and written like a textbook from the 1960’s’. I mean what can a Christian author say about sex and intimacy? Does the Bible really even talk about those things, or where are they getting their info?  Can WE as Christians talk about that stuff in a way that is honorable to God?
I included God in every other area of my life, but the thought of God being a part of the intimacy I share with my husband, well, that was a little awkward to me.
The book initially comes across as an anti-Fifty Shades of Grey title.  In some ways it is, in that it explains why we are drawn to that type of material.  Even if you have seen or read 50 Shades, you can still appreciate this book and what it has to offer.
The chapters look a little like this “The Sexually Satisfied Woman”, “Reviving More Than Your Sex Life”, “The Spiritually Satisfied Woman”, and more.
The authors explain the longings of a woman’s heart.  They talk about the different emotional and physical needs between men and women.
This is a book I am passionate about.  I have put a copy of this book in the hands of a range of women; from a single woman, to a young woman preparing for marriage, all the way to own mother, who has been married for 40 years, and all sorts of other women in between.

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
