Welcome to Wired for Intimacy: The Blog

If you are reading this, my guess is that you are one of the handful of  people who have picked up my text Wired for Intimacy and have browsed here to see what this whole thing is about. My hope is that this blog will be a place for me to share a wider vision about what it means to be created in God's image and how that plays out in all of our relationships (not just the 'sexual' ones).

I am also looking forward to using this space to comment on the ways in which the media address issues of sexuality. Whether it is a new book, scientific article published in a neuroimaging journal, a blurb on CNN.com or Foxnews.com, a billboard advertisement on the expressway or a question from one of you, I am looking forward to discovering new ways that we can discover how our sexuality can propel us towards sanctification rather than depravity.

Feel free to look around the blog. As additional resources for education, healing and encouragement become available I will be linking them in the appropriate sections. Also feel free to comment or contact me if there are any questions, comments, or concerns that you might have. My goal is to post at least once a week once the book comes out (some time in early December 2009), and then we will see where it goes from there.


Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.

    1) The Church needs a robust and biblical view/understanding of creational sexuality and historical distortions/perversions. Read: FLAME OF YAHWEH: Sexuality in the Old Testament, Richard M. Davidson.

    2) The Church needs a biblical anthropology/hamartiology/ontology. Read John W. Cooper's BODY, SOUL, & LIFE EVERLASTING: Biblical Anthropology and the Monism-Dualism Debate.

    3) The Church needs a biblical understanding of Pauline sanctification. Read Miles J. Stanford's THE COMPLETE GREEN LETTERS, Zondervan.
