Book Description

In this pioneering study in religion and culture, Mielke acknowledges the power that pornographic images continue to assert in a culture whose conscious intention is to deny their attraction. Mielke's unique analysis brings together a wide range of sources--contemporary as well as historical Christianity, sex therapy, secular feminism, contemporary psychoanalysis, and behavioral science research studies--in an attempt to explain the prevalence of pornographic themes and imagery in human sexual arousal and fulfillment.

Book Description

For so long, Christians have looked at lust and pornography as "men's" issues. Statistics indicate that more and more women are struggling with this as well. What's it like to be a woman with this struggle in the church? How do you find freedom? How do you find healing? Can God still love you? Will He still use you? Christian writer and speaker, Jessica Harris, answers these questions by walking the reader through her own journey, from the rags of pornography to the riches of grace.

Book Description

From the fiery intellectual provocateur— and one of our most fearless advocates of gender equality—a brilliant, urgent essay collection that both celebrates modern feminism and challenges us to build an alliance of strong women and strong men. Ever since the release of her seminal first book, Sexual Personae, Camille Paglia has remained one of feminism’s most outspoken, independent, and searingly intelligent voices. Now, for the first time, her best essays on the subject are gathered together in one concise volume. Whether she’s calling for equal opportunity for American women (years before the founding of the National Organization for Women), championing a more discerning standard of beauty that goes beyond plastic surgery’s quest for eternal youth, lauding the liberating force of rock and roll, or demanding free and unfettered speech on university campuses and beyond, Paglia can always be counted on to get to the heart of matters large and small. At once illuminating, witty, and inspiring, these essays are essential reading that affirm the power of men and women and what we can accomplish together.
