About

When Carolyn Weber moved to Oxford University to study, she didn't expect to find God there. But she did. As she grappled with her newest and most important relationship, she also found that there was another invitation: to think bigger about love.
In this book we follow Weber through courtship and into marriage and parenthood. Now a literature professor, Weber reflects on her relationship with a sometimes-absent father and how that has shaped her. Through her personal story, as well as spiritual, theological, and literary reflection, Sex and the City of God explores what life looks like when we choose to love God first.

Reviews

"Here is a modern woman's walk through life with Augustine's ancient wisdom as a guide. Yes, it is a love story, but it is no mere love story. It carries weight and wisdom. You will laugh and cry-sometimes simultaneously-and ponder the remarkable grace of God. Weber is a storyteller at heart. She keeps her reader in delightful suspense without neglecting the rich nourishment that strong stories su
Ben Palpant, author of A Small Cup of Light and Sojourner Songs
"We're sometimes tempted to put faith in one category and gritty areas of life in another. But God doesn't compartmentalize. In Sex and the City of God, Carolyn Weber narrates her experience of love, longing, and faith. Beautifully written, theologically rich, and mercifully honest, Weber's book is gift to all who love God amid the realities of our humanness."
Darryl Dash, author of How to Grow: Applying the Gospel to All of Your Life
"Sex is in the title, but this book is surely and mostly about marriage-what comes before and what we receive afterward. It is about all the most important loves we have and how they grow softly and strong and sturdy over time. Weber also provides a rare and honest examination of female desire, sanctified. It is an honest, lyrically and beautifully written memoir from an accomplished writer from whom we expect great things, and Weber does not disappoint."
Karen Stiller, author of The Minister's Wife
