Book Description
"Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame." (Genesis 2:25) Imagine a marriage with complete intimacy, vulnerability, transparency and trust. Imagine a marriage rooted in faith, friendship and mutual fulfillment. Imagine a marriage with amazing sex, but where great sex is only the icing on the cake.

You and your spouse can have a thriving, Naked Marriage with a lifetime of love and laughter together. This book will show you how.

Pages : 308
Book Description
What would it be like to wake in the middle of your life with no memory of what had gone before? Would you run straight back into the past - or would you take this chance to start again - with a naked heart? Anna wakes in a hospital bed, with no memory of anything before the accident that almost took her life four months before. Everyone tells her that her former life was perfect. But as she starts to search for the pieces of the puzzle herself, a completely different picture emerges. This is the story of Anna's journey into herself, into a past she never knew and had never questioned. THE NAKED HUSBAND explored the world of a man who could not face a future he had built for himself. THE NAKED HEART explores a woman's history, and how it has ruled her. Is it possible for people to love us and still have no idea who we really are? Are we the sum of our memories, or do they instead keep us from ourselves? If we abandon our past, can we then, finally, be free? THE NAKED HEART answers many questions raised by its predecessor, but asks very many more.

The Naked Truth
Author: Leslie Morgan
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501174118
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Newly divorced and determined to reclaim her life, Leslie Morgan, bestselling author of Crazy Love and Mommy Wars, decided to spend a year searching for five new lovers in this “highly stimulating story of a midlife education” and “steamy, liberating tale of self-exploration and self-love” (Kirkus Reviews). When Leslie Morgan divorced after a twenty-year marriage, both her self-esteem and romantic optimism were shattered. She was determined to avoid the cliché of the “lonely, middle-aged divorcée” lamenting her stretch marks and begging her kids to craft her online dating profile. Instead, Leslie celebrated her independence with an audacious plan: she would devote a year to seeking out five lovers in hopes of unearthing the erotic adventures and authentic connections long missing from her life. Clumsy and clueless at first, she overcame mortifying early missteps, buoyed by friends and blind faith. And so she found men at yoga class, the airport, and high school reunions—all without the torture of dating websites. Along the way she uncovered new truths about sex, aging, men, self-confidence, and what it means to be a woman over fifty today. Packed with fearless, evocative details, The Naked Truth is a rare, unexpected, and wildly entertaining memoir about a soccer mom who rediscovers the magic of sexual and emotional connection, and the lasting gifts of reveling in your femininity at every age.

Fierce Marriage
Author: Ryan Frederick
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493412779
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.
