Shameless by Nadia Bolz-Weber
Bitingly honest, powerful, and timely, bestselling author and pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber delivers her most important message yet: a body- and sex- positive reframing of the faith. Nothing gives church folk anxiety quite like the subject of sex. And that's why in Shameless, Pastor Nadia sets out to reclaim the conversation for a new generation. In the spirit of Martin Luther, Bolz-Weber calls for a reformation of the way believers understand and express their sexuality. To make her case, Bolz-Weber draws on experiences from her own life as well as her parishoners', then puts them side by side with biblical narrative and theology to explore what the church has taught and about sex, and the harm that has often come as a result. Along the way, Bolz-Weber reexamines patriarchy, gender, and sexual orientation with candor but also with hope--because, as she writes, I believe that the Gospel can heal the pain that even the church has caused. As with her previous books, Bolz-Weber offers an honest, affirming and intellectually robust experience on the pages that speak to skeptic and believer alike.Nadia Bolz-Weber initially made the New York Times bestseller list in 2013 with her memoir Pastrix, which was both bitingly honest and uplifting, and was followed in 2015 by the highly praised New York Times bestseller Accidental Saints. Bolz-Weber, a former stand-up comic and recovering alcoholic, is the founder and former pastor of Home for All Sinners and Saints, a Lutheran church in Colorado. She gives talks at universities and conferences all around the world.
