Mud and Poetry: Love, Sex, and the Sacred

What is the secret to a happy, lasting, God-filled marriage? Is it a two car garage? A big bank account? Amazing sex?  No. In Mud & Poetry, American singer/songwriter and author Tyler Blanski suggests that marriage is not just another tired pursuit of the American Dream. Marriage is a mission. It is a way to live the Great Commission.

God is on a mission to bring himself glory through through his male-and-female creation. Marriage is a sacrament. Singleness, especially consecrated Celibacy, can also be a living sign of Christ's love for his Church. For Christians, celibacy and marriage complement each other.

You see, every Christian has a sex life, even if they're not having sex. Sometimes love is muddy and confusing. Sometimes it's beautiful and poetic. But our relationships have the potential to transform us spiritually.

In playful and creative prose, Tyler Blanski invites readers to discover the beauty and power , the mud and the poetry, of God's mission for human sexuality.
