 | Oh God! by Susan Newman
Millions of Black women of faith are struggling to reconcile their sexuality and spirituality: trying to live holy and sanctified lives as taught by their churches, while wrestling with the difficulty of merging these religious beliefs with the natural sexual desires as women. Many denominations of various religions decree that any form of sexual activity (including masturbation) outside marriage is a sin. Thus, many women are left with no outlet to relieve their passions. OH GOD! is the first definitive guide to helping African American women of all faiths find a balance between spirituality and sexuality. The book looks not only at the issues confronting women today, but also examines how interpretations of religious texts have influenced religious instruction in matters of women, sex, and spirituality. OH GOD! provides an inspirational, sometimes humorous look at a serious issue, designed to help women reconcile the seemingly contradicting spiritual and sexual sides of themselves. R. Newman assures us that sexual and spiritual union can exist, and shows us, in this groundbreaking work, just how to move from duality to wholeness. AUTHOR: Susan Newman
