Passion Pursuit gently yet unapologetically leads Christian women to that most marvelous of places: helping them to care about their sexual relationship as much as God does. Women who go through this fine study will certainly feel themselves drawing not just closer to their husbands but also closer to God. Not only will they find themselves more pleasing to their husbands and more capable of experiencing greater personal delight themselves, but along the way they will also be led to become more and more like Christ. A marvelous aim, successfully achieved and brilliantly executed.

Sex is a hot topic. But for many women, sex is uncomfortable, an obligation, or a reminder of past hurts. Linda Dillow and Dr. Juli Slattery encourage women about a subject that is often not discussed. Passion Pursuit is a Bible study that is relevant, informative, and sensitive to the questions that many women want answered but dont know who to ask. Together the authors address the subject with transparency about their own lives, information from research, and spiritual application from Scripture.
Passion Pursuit is a resource for every woman who wants Gods best out of life and marriage!

You mean Christian women can, do, and should enjoy sex? Whodathunkit? Well, God didfirst; but then all sorts of well-meaning experts created a mess with all things Christian+sex+
female+marriage+fun+healthy. As such, its been difficult to find a book that engagingly couples biblical counsel with wise, funny, relatable, and thoroughly modern discussionbut Linda Dillow and Dr. Juli Slattery have accomplished just that! I highly recommend Passion Pursuits spiritually saucy pages to every woman of faith. After all, satisfying, fun, and guilt-free sex was Gods idea from the very beginning.

While the world fixates on sex, the church has remained silent, and this has led to much confusion and pain in the Christian community. Now finally Dr. Juli Slattery and Linda Dillow have boldly stepped out and addressed the issues in a biblical, clear, and courageous way. Passion Pursuit opens the door to much healing, much pleasure, and much clarity on the sexual experience. It offers a more beautiful, passionate, and pleasurable picture for both husband and wife than the world can ever give. It will drastically change marriages and heal broken hearts. I pray every church in America will embrace this study for their womenand do so quickly!
