Summary

"It doesn't have to be this weird. When it comes to relationships between men and women, we have more questions than answers: How do we keep relationships with the opposite sex healthy--and still hug each other after small group? Is it possible for married men and women to be friends with people of the opposite sex? What does it mean to be a woman if you're not a wife, or a man if you're not a husband? Jesus' pattern for church living was one of family--of brothers and sisters living in intimate, life-giving community with each other. With story, sensitivity, and hope, Beyond Awkward Side Hugs invites us to leave behind eroticized, fear-based patterns and move toward gendered, generous relationships between men and women of character as we love one another as Jesus did."--Cover
