Sacred Unions, Sacred Passions: Reviews

Here is a snapshot of the reviews so far for Sacred Unions, Sacred Passions:

"My husband and I are often frustrated by typical "Christian" views of male-female relationships which can be boxy and ownership-based (as in marriage). Dan Brennan's book offers a wider, more complex, more accurate view of the world. " Susan Matheson.

"Growing up in the evangelical church, I read many books, and heard many sermons where the basic message was: it's just too dangerous for men and women to be friends unless there is authentic potential for them to become a dating/married pair. Men and women weren't supposed to ride in the same car alone together. The problem was that I have always had friends who are men - people I like being around, and have things in common with. Either I was married, or they were married, or both - I wasn't looking for romance, just friendship. But everything I head in the church told me there was something wrong with this. That's why I'm so grateful this book has come along. The author lays out a case for understanding male-female friendship as something that can have all the markings of "regular" friendship - the closeness and the laughter and the familiarity, while also dealing with the stickier issue of attraction. I have never come across a book which deals with this issue in this kind of depth." Jennifer Roach
