“Our greatest need is to be recognised – to be seen, loved, and embedded in rich relationships with the people around us. But for the last century, we’ve displaced that need with the ease of technology.”

“Gentle and Lowly” is written to draw us into the heart of who Christ really is. Maybe this is something you have never really thought about – you know who Jesus is, but do you know what His heart is like? 

Throughout the book, Rachel Jones deals with the indecision of our modern generation, speaking honestly and candidly about the struggles of everyday life, from the difficulty of making decisions to the yearning to return to or find a home or to get married. She highlights the Gen Z issue of choosing between a well-paying job and one we love. She unpacks these issues with wit but also with an understanding of them, offering realistic, practical, and, most importantly of all, convicting solutions.

If God means for us to save sex for marriage, why doesn’t he zap us with sexuality on our wedding night? Why do most of us experience sexual feelings throughout our adult lives, not just in the safe confines of marriage? Is limiting marriage to the union of a man and a woman anything but outdated prejudice? What is our sexuality actually for?

Perhaps you’ve tried to answer some of these questions, or maybe you’re currently working through them. In Purposeful Sexuality, Ed Shaw seeks to answer these very questions. It’s not an exhaustive answer, but a primer that engages at the heart of the issue, prompting us to continue thinking about sexuality from a biblical perspective.
