Desire and longing are part of the human condition. But we aren’t alone in our thirst: the essence of divinity is an intense yearning for unity. The meditations contained in these pages will not only change your view of God, they will help you experience God. "A Theology of Desire is precisely that: a devotional about the sacredness of intimacy . The book invites the reader to contemplate intimacy and sexuality in a way that is fresh, while remaining deeply connected to ancient understandings of Scripture, Trinity, and humanity."Steve Austin, author of From Pastor to Psych Ward, Catching Your Breath,and Self Care for the Wounded Soul "A Theology of Desire conveys the sensual passion of spirituality and love, and their relationship. Even though we hunger for facts, finding, and fulfillment, our experience is most often questions, seeking, and desire. Suzanne beautifully expresses the beauty of this."David Hayword, aka 'nakedpastor', cartoonist, artist, and author ofThe Liberation of Sophia, Lasting Supper, and other titles "This devotional allowed time for reflection on desire in its many forms, and offers a beautiful look at spiritual, emotional, and physical intimacy that empowers connection within yourself and with others. For so many, desire is often discussed with shame, but this exploration sheds light on the extent of God's love, and the reflection of it in human relationships.Expand your love for yourself, your partner, your Creator with this devotional."Stephanie Sansoucy Lee, communications and marketing professional, and creative entrepreneur. She is First Lady of Unifour Church in Newton, NC. "Suzanne Dewitt Hall's unique and delicious devotional Theology of Desire breaks new ground for those of us who are on a continuing spiritual journey to fully appreciate and embrace the God of our understanding. Her skill of capturing the sensual essence of God's love is not only breathtaking, but nurturing and nourishing for our own perception of sexuality and intimacy, connecting God's boundless love and our own potential to love fully, mindfully, without the usual chains of traditional religious dogma and ancient hangups about God's precious gift of sexuality in it's fullest sense." Rev. Daniel Young UCC Retired Clergyperson Suzanne DeWitt Hall is author of the Rumplepimple adventures and the Where True Love is devotional series, and is hard at work on two kids' books about gender. She is mildly obsessed with vintage cookbooks and the intersection of sexuality and theology. Her work is designed to shine the light of love into hearts darkened by discrimination and fear. Suzanne lives with her beloved wife, two terriers, and a cat named Chicken. Her life is so full of joy it's surprising her house can hold it all. You can learn more at sdewitthall.com
