My first impression of this book was one of skepticism due to its claimed attempt to "respond to the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon" and because this book was a spiritual approach to a complicated topic such as "human sexuality and fantasy". I felt doubtful of a book less than 300 pages that would examine these questions with a satisfactory amount of thoroughness and as a skeptic to religion, I felt like this book would be a chore to finish. I was shocked to realize I was considering the religious aspects of the book just as seriously as her arguments related to fantasy and and "overly sexualized society". I feel like this book enlightened me and has helped me begin a very necessary spiritual journey to find a relationship with God. This book has left me feeling very confused about my previous dispositions in life and has encouraged me to do some personal reflection. I am indebted to this book for this reason alone and encourage others to read it in case they find similar enlightenment. I originally intended to give this book two stars since I felt it was missing more than it included, however upon completing this book and discussing it with friends, I give this book FIVE STARS since it has given me ideas I will adhere to for awhile (if not life) and I find that rare in a book these days.
