Publisher's Description

Sexual shame causes women to feel far from God, live a secret life of sexual sin, doubt that God loves them, and even question their salvation. Sexual Shame in Women and How to Experience Freedom will help readers understand sexual shame as one of the root issues among women's sexual struggles, while focusing specifically on the issues of pornography and sexual abuse. Ministry leaders must help women find freedom from sexual shame to help them walk in sexual integrity, wholeness, and healing. The freedom journey begins through understanding the character of God, being known in biblical community, and understanding God's design for sexuality. This research project is a dissertation from Dallas Theological Seminary's DMin program.

“Women are abandoning their relationship with Christ and the church in record numbers, and sexual shame ranks high among the reasons. . . . The church must address this cataclysmic issue to regain its standing in the world. Do you want to learn how Christians and the church can help these women find sexual freedom, overcome their shame, and be transformed into healthy women of God? Then digest Skarka’s findings and apply them to your relationships and ministries.”

“Joy Skarka’s groundbreaking research adds an important contribution to a long-neglected conversation. Her up-to-date, research-based conclusions and recommendations are already helping those of us who are training the next generation of ministry leaders. And I’m certain her good work will continue to do what it has already done—help many women who are dealing with sexual shame to find freedom and healing.”

Sandra Glahn

“Joy Skarka has provided a timely and greatly needed book for both men and women. Sexual Shame in Women and How to Experience Freedom brings awareness of the least talked about problem in women’s ministry. Best of all, it provides the pathway of true freedom in Christ. Joy’s life and advanced training make her uniquely qualified to guide you to this freedom and experience a life of sexual healing and wholeness according to God’s great design.”
