In The Spirituality of Sex, Michael Schwartzentruber, Lois Huey-Heck, Mary Millerd, and Charlotte Jackson embrace a more holistic view of sex and human spirituality. With evocative prose and beautiful images, they add their voices to an ever-growing chorus inviting people to recognize sex and sexuality as inherently sacred – as a divine way of being, as a potential window and way to know God.

They show the roles that sexuality and the erotic have played in religion and spirituality from the dawn of human history, to ancient Greece and Rome, to the evolution of the world’s great religions. Following this golden thread, they reveal the presence and power of the erotic in the traditions of the West – in the Kabbalah in Judaism, in the poetry of the Sufi mystics in Islam, and even in the writings of the Christian mystics of the Middle Ages – as well as in the traditions of the Orient.

They realize, too, that spirituality encompasses more than just religious practices and beliefs. Our sense of personal identity; our need for love and intimacy and meaningful relationships; our experience of touch, sight, taste, smell, and sound; our ability to perceive and appreciate beauty; our unbidden experiences of the Divine – all of these things are part of human spirituality and all of them are inextricably interwoven with our sexuality.

m-m-m-m good!

What a lovely symphony of words and images to capture the inter-weaving of our sexual and spiritual selves! I can think immediately of people I want to share this with, such as my small group of women friends and my priest friend (believe it or not). You have touched on many sensitive areas in thoughtful and respectful ways.

Thanks so much for the privilege of reading this in it's earlier version and now again in it's published form. I see this as a "crowning accomplishment" for you as an author and publisher!
