Many women in the church don't feel like their contributions matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is this?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe church is sadly still confused about what it means to be a man or a woman. While secular society talks about sexuality in terms of liberation, many in the church define manhood and womanhood in terms of reductive roles that rob us of the dignity of personhood, created in the image of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her poetic, theologically contemplative style, Aimee Byrd invites you to enter the rich treasure trove of the Song of Songs as its lyrics reveal how our very bodies are visible signs that tell us something about our God. This often-ignored biblical book has much to teach us about Christ, his church, man, and woman. And what it teaches us is not a list of roles and hierarchy. It is a love song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs it unfolds throughout the canon of Scripture, the meaning of our sexuality extends beyond biology, nature, and culture to give us a glimpse of what is to come. This meaningfulness reinforces our discipleship as we participate in the eschatological song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Sexual Reformation\u003c\/em\u003e, you will discover the beautiful message that our bodies--and our whole selves--are part of the greater story in which Christ received the gift of his bride, the church. Within the context of \u003cem\u003ethat\u003c\/em\u003e story, you'll rediscover your sexuality as a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eByrd, Aimee:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAimee Byrd\u003c\/strong\u003e is author, speaker, blogger, podcaster, and former coffee shop owner.
