Book Reviews

For adult Christians wanting to explore sexual moral values in the light of traditional Christian teaching, Faithful Sexuality contains the stories told to a thoughtful, listening Lutheran pastor, and his progressive reflections.

-Virgil C. Funk, retired Catholic priest, Diocese of Richmond, VA

With a seasoned pastor's sensitivity Grafwallner shares stories, experiences, and wisdom from hundreds of people about a wide variety of issues related to faithful sexuality and our most intimate relationships. For some his perspective will be too liberal, and for others it will be too traditional. But in any case his brief reflections and stimulating questions serve as a 'catalyst for conversation' on a topic that the church 'for the most part has been silent.
