Used as a teaching text in Africa, Eurasia and Canada, "Reclaiming the Wonder of Sexuality" has proved it's worth in the many ways it has been adopted by a variety of Christian communities.

The text is easy to read, with informative graphics and helpful diagrams, and loaded with personal examples and case studies. As affirmed by so many readers, from Nepal to Ukraine to Uganda to Toronto, this book is wondrous in it's content and transformative in it's effectiveness.
