__Sexy Christians. Oxymoron? Or words that redefine the way we live?__   
If you think the words sexy and Christians don't belong in the same sentence, think again. God wants your marriage to be filled with joyful, sexy intimacy. In fact, sex was his idea to begin with. If you feel as though something's missing from your relationship, don't give up! Having to work at marriage simply shows you're one real person married to another.  
  
In Sexy Christians you will learn why men and women see sex differently, what the greatest aphrodisiac is, and how to avoid the most lethal killer to a great sex life. You'll also discover what men's and women's sexual needs are and why they are so different, what sex is all about from God's perspective, and what the differences are between male and female sexual response cycles.   
  
If you want the kind of passionate relationship for which God made you, Sexy Christians is the place to start.  
  
Ready for the next level? Check out the Sexy Christians Workbook, designed for individuals, couples, and groups. Packed with additional content, this companion study challenges you to explore the rewarding work of intimacy.
