Celibate Sex: Musings on Being Loved, Single, Twisted, and Holy by Abbie Smith

While I expected this book to pack a more profound punch than it actually did, it was a valuable read, full of honesty and encouragement. Abbie Smith wrote these musings while she was single, and she shares her own questions and difficulties as well as her meditations on what it means to be completely loved by Christ, even in our most vulnerable places. She writes, “Between twisted aspects of where we are and divine aspirations of where we want to be, we find space to become more human and sought by a Savior.”
