Faithful Fornication

My secret side-passion is reading really conservative Christian relationship books and laughing at them tile I piss myself. Boy oh Boy, this was not that. How refreshing to find someone with the same liberal/progressive views as me on sexuality, gender, sex and other subjects, who has managed to hold onto faith. I felt so alienated from the church and not much will change that, but this was such a blessing to come across, and a quick, fun read with fascinating facts. Geneva Valek via GoodReads I thoroughly enjoyed this book! To find polyamory being explored in a book about Christian sexuality was an eye opener! I found it extremely helpful in terms of how to talk about sex to my daughter when she's older... Rachel Collis Performer I devoured this book, thrilled to learn more about evolution than I'd ever been taught in my Christian school upbringing, and impressed by Jason's ability to see the bigger picture presented by the Bible regarding sex and marriage in particular. He... talked about why queer marriage should be affirmed, why masturbation is healthy and porn is not nearly the same as adultery - to which I wholeheartedly agree! And he opened up questions for me and for other readers. Questions about the possibility of serial monogamy or how a couple might consider polyamory while remaining committed to their marital relationship. Thank you, Jason, for your thorough research and your bravery! Eady Jay Author Jason calls us to consider seriously how, within our own contexts, each one of us might shape our relationships to be mutually respectful, loving, communally responsible and life affirming. In my view, this is a book not just for Christians, but for everyone. Janet Dawson via GoodReads Jason's... intellect, wit, warmth and humour... allows the reader to feel released from the constraints of shame that have been imposed by 'the church'. I love how he celebrates the joy of sex... Jane Grebert, Science Teacher, Environmental Educator Sex, evolution, and the Bible... For some Christians, those three words should never be together in the same religious sentence. But Jason John (thank goodness) has put them there - and all with raw and open honesty. I await the prayers and bonfires! Rex A. E.

With flashes of humour and much deep thought, the author takes us, time and again, on a journey from the origins of a belief system to its inappropriate current-day application.
