(1) TAKE THE TOUCH TEST
Touch (or affection) is a universal, biological need—we can't live
without it.
Both sexual and non-sexual touch can fill our need for
loving touch, but sexual
touch alone cannot fill the need for pure
affection. Touch deprivation is a
serious, but often unrecognized void
in our lives. Take the touch test by
keeping track, for the next 24
hours, of how many times you and your spouse
(or children) touch, then
determine to touch more often! We can all increase
loving touch with
hugs, hand-holding, kisses, sitting close to each other and
snuggling.
We can even let ourselves brush against each other as we pass
instead
of avoiding contact. Touch is the dessert of life and can have a
wonderful impact on our lives.
For more information see Chapter 12 "Becoming One—Physical Intimacy"
in
the book
And They Were Not Ashamed—Strengthening Marriage
through
Sexual Fulfillment.
(2) AUDIO BOOK UPDATE--Now Available for Pre-order!
We recently finished recording
And They Were Not Ashamed for
the CD
audio book version (read by the author). This will be a real
treat to those who
struggle to find the time to sit down and read. You
can listen to this book on the
way to and from work or while you are
out and about. There's something powerful
about hearing such important
yet delicate topics talked about openly and confidently.
You can now
pre-order online and receive the discounted price at

This unabridged audio
book will be ready to ship early November. Order
now to get the first copies!
(3) ON A MISSION TO MOVE A MOUNTAIN
One of the primary purposes of this book is to take sex out of Satan's
territory and
restore it to God's light and truth. We intend to find as
many people as possible who
will catch the vision of this book and want
to be a part of a positive shift in attitude
regarding sex. We also
hope to help remove the embarrassment and discomfort so
many feel
regarding this delicate topic. It will take a lot of people doing just
a little to
move this mountain. Here's how you can help:
1. Read and apply this book in your own life.
2. Teach your children the sanctity and goodness of
sexual relations
in marriage.
3. Forward this email to a friend or tell someone
about this book.
4. Give this book as a wedding gift and/or Christmas
gift.
If you have other ideas to help spread the word, we welcome your
suggestions.
