Summary:
In this newly revised edition of Sexuality and Holy Longing, author Lisa Graham McMinn beautifully describes how people are created by God for relationship, and our sexuality guarantees that we will long for and be drawn toward others. McMinn provides a blueprint for understanding sexuality--and our longing to be loved--at all stages of life (childhood, teen years, early adulthood, midlife, and old age). The author details practical ways that parents, educators, and churches can nurture key understandings of sexuality and embrace it as a God-given gift. -- Publisher.
