Holy Sexuality 2

Here are some helpful resources for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of sexuality. Many of these resources were referenced during "Holy Sexuality," a teaching series at The North Canton Chapel during the Fall 2022. A point of clarity: All of these resources and authors support the conclusion that marriage is designed by God to be a lifelong, covenantal union between one man and one woman. These authors have been chosen because they write in a generally approachable, empathetic, and gracious tone while remaining deeply rooted in their convictions.
The best "first-read" book on the basics of human sexuality. At less than 100 pages, if you only read one book, this is it!
