Sexual Shame in Women and How to Experience Freedom

“Women are abandoning their relationship with Christ and the church in record numbers, and sexual shame ranks high among the reasons. . . . The church must address this cataclysmic issue to regain its standing in the world. Do you want to learn how Christians and the church can help these women find sexual freedom, overcome their shame, and be transformed into healthy women of God? Then digest Skarka’s findings and apply them to your relationships and ministries.”

“Joy Skarka’s groundbreaking research adds an important contribution to a long-neglected conversation. Her up-to-date, research-based conclusions and recommendations are already helping those of us who are training the next generation of ministry leaders. And I’m certain her good work will continue to do what it has already done—help many women who are dealing with sexual shame to find freedom and healing.”
