SEX and the SAINTS

As I travel and speak with people in churches, schools, and communities about the perils of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, issues ranging from abuse, sexual impropriety among the clergy, closet sexuality, and issues with pornography, all come up in conversation. I am amazed at how much people need to disclose about sexual issues, and how repressed the church is in general when it comes down to the discussion. After much prayer, this book of testimonies is being released, not exclusively as a tell all, but as a means of opening up the dialogue in the church about one of the most natural activities, created by God, and vital to procreation – sex! The church needs to encourage and facilitate open discussions about sex, sexuality, sexual orientation, homosexuality, bi-sexuality, sexual abuse, child abuse, and heterosexuality.
