Sexpectations: Reframing Your Good and Not-So-Good Stories about God, Love, and Relationships Book

Dr. Carol Tanksley's book "Sexpectations" invites readers to honestly examine their views on sex, love, and relationships—unpacking the influences that have shaped them. The book encourages readers to critically evaluate how their understanding of these topics intersects with their faith.

Many Christians carry hidden shame and confusion about their sexuality. This book seeks to break this cycle by tackling difficult issues such as sexual addiction, varying sexual attractions, and the impacts of past sexual trauma.

"Sexpectations" delves into redefining how individuals understand God's role in their intimate relationships. It emphasizes the importance of breaking free from unhealthy sexual patterns that are not aligned with a positive spiritual life.

The book aims to help readers discover ways to develop a relationship with sex that both honors their faith and promotes healthy, loving connections with others.

Dr. Tanksley's work offers guidance on navigating sexuality, spirituality, and self-understanding within a Christian framework, and is designed to create a path toward a more integrated and fulfilling experience of intimacy.
