What If Everything You Thought You Knew About Sex Was Wrong
DALLAS, March 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Walk into any bookstore and you will find that its shelves are positively pregnant with books about sex. Thanks to tantric sex, karmic sex, kosher sex, sex for one, sex for more, and sexy sex for sex's sake, our culture has advanced to the point where (with apologies to Dr. Seuss) you can do it on a plane, you can do it on a train, you can do it here or there, you can do it anywhere. But what if this smorgasbord of libidinous delights is really nothing more than a collection of appetizers cleverly marketed as the main course, but ultimately failing to satisfy real sexual hunger?
In his new book, Holy Sex! A Catholic Guide to Toe- Curling, Mind-Blowing, Infallible Loving, Dr. Gregory Popcak reveals what it takes for couples to celebrate a toe-curling, eye-popping, mind-blowing, and deeply spiritual sexuality. Popcak asserts that the best sex--the kind that our bodies were made to crave- -is happening in the last place the rest of the world has thought to look--in the homes of authentic Catholics. "Most people think that only secular sexperts or ancient, moldering pagan mystics have anything to teach the world about sex," Popcak states. "These people have never encountered the truth, beauty, goodness, and vitality that is the mystical Christian spirituality of sex or the practical wisdom it imparts to those couples who seek it."
Conflict about sexual issues is one of the chief reasons couples seek counseling. Though Holy Sex! draws on Catholic Tradition, the insights in the book on resolving these issues are universally applicable. Holy Sex! includes invaluable practical resources such as The Four Pleasure Principles of Resolving Sexual Conflict that will help any couple to navigate the sexual struggles of marriage, evaluate the general health of their relationship, and become better lovers.
Popcak is the founder/executive director of the Pastoral Solutions Institute, a nationally syndicated talk radio psychotherapist, and the author of seven books on marriage and family life. His conversational style, infused with respectful humor and a remarkable knack for metaphor, makes for a book that is as entertaining as it is informative. Holy Sex! invites readers to explore a sexual relationship that is superior to the eroticism that lures people in with promises of fun and fulfillment then dumps them out the back door dazed, depressed, and considerably worse off than when they started. Dr. Popcak is available for interviews.

What are the Dangers of Being Religious
What are the Dangers of Being Religious
ENUMCLAW, Wash., March 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- Beverly Medley Jones spends her days on the streets of Ohio spreading hope to a lost generation. The message she shares focuses on a relationship with Jesus Christ, rather than religious traditions, rules, or regulations.
Jones, author of "A Seat at the Master's Table", by Winepress Publishing, says, "The premise of this book is that God, our Father, invites us to have dialogue with Him. The writing is informal, conversational, comfortable, and relaxed, as if you were enjoying dinner conversation with God."
Although raised in a conservative home, Jones admits to having lived a double life filled with rebellion as a teenager and young adult. At age 22, she approached her father, a Baptist minister, who comforted her with the words of Scripture. It was then that Jones put her faith in God and turned from her life of pain and uncertainty.
As a new Christian, Beverly felt compelled to tell others about her faith and started witnessing on the streets of her hometown, Medina, Ohio. Soon she was joined by other believers, and together they began Stronghold Ministries. In addition to their street ministry, Stronghold Ministries visited nursing homes, Cleveland City Mission, St. Herman's mission, and held Christian music festivals.
"I went to church all my life, but did not accept Christ until adulthood, so I understand the dangers of being religious." The dangers she alludes to include hypocrisy, unbelief, and pride. "To believe big means to acknowledge the integrity of God. It is not wishing or hoping that God's Word is true, but knowing it is true."
Jones' first book, "Dialogue with the Master", released in June, 2005. Designed for new believers, the book contains 24 modern-day parables to show how God communicates with us. "A Seat at the Master's Table", #2 in the "Dialogue" series, is intended for Christians seeking the next steps in spiritual maturity. An intervention specialist for special needs students, Jones acts as chapel leader at Cleveland City Mission's Women's Shelter, is on the board of Cleveland area's BRIDGE the Gap Community and Educational Foundation, and has taught school in the Cleveland area for 27 years. She has also taught seminars on Attention Deficit and Learning Disabilities. She and her family make their home in Northeast Ohio.
