Tender Fires

In Tender fires, Ferder and Heagle explore the connection between spirituality and sexuality, showing how it is possible to become a more responsible lover and life-giver. Based on their work with hundreds of individuals and couples, as well as on extensive knowledge of the Bible and religious history, Sister Ferder and Father Heagle walk readers through an understanding of why sexuality and spirituality are "soul sisters." Including new ways to define terms (such as sexuality as "love energy - having to do with the ways we try to reach one another at the level of the heart"); reflections on what Biblical stories have to teach about sexuality and love; and a broad understanding of sexual diversity, Tender fires makes clear that sex need not engender guilt.
