Product Details
Putting the words God and sex together is difficult for most religious people. Fr. Ron Holheiser, OMI, has authored, The Fire Within, to bring God and sex together with honesty and in a thought-provoking way. Measuring 5”W x 7”H, The Fire Within is a paperback with 112 pages. Therefore, it is short and gets right down to examining personal integrity in many domains of one’s life including sexuality. Fr. Ron has authored many books and has chosen to explore “desire” and how God is within our desires. The Fire Within looks at the origins of desire, its meaning and how it might be generatively channeled.
God is conceived of as holy, pure, sexless, and as morally above the raw desires that so powerfully beset us. Sex, on the other hand, is conceived of as earthy and unholy, something we must snatch, and not without guilt, from the gods. Christianity has struggled mightily with sex; so too have most other religions. And yet when we look at sexual desire and ask where it comes from, there can be only one answer. It comes from God. Sexuality is inside us to help lure us back to God, but dealing with this fire inside us is a lifelong struggle. Ron Rolheiser sheds light on this mystery and the journey it takes us on in these tantalizing fragments that help give us permission to feel what we feel and know that God is still smiling on us.
