Made in Heaven, Fleshed Out on Earth

by Nancy Fowler Christenson

Overview

God’s design for love and sex is a beautiful plan Made in Heaven. The tough part is that it has to be Fleshed Out on Earth, too often subject to the whims and weaknesses of our human nature.

For the single Christian, it’s really hard to avoid sexual involvement. And then sometimes, surprisingly, it may also be difficult to enter in to free, uninhibited sex after the wedding. Nancy Christenson’s book chronicles one girl’s struggle to embrace God’s best, on both sides of the vows. When as a new bride she shuts down in the bedroom, she and her husband Greg hang their hope on the faithfulness of God, believing that He will ultimately bring them heaven on earth. Indeed He does, in the eleventh year of their marriage, sovereignly bringing enduring wholeness and freedom into their love life.
For singles who have strayed a little or a lot, here is encouragement; for couples who are struggling in the area of intimacy, here is faith and hope.

“Essential to young adults! I wish I had read this in high school. This is the book you pick up when you are someone like me—married and having issues in the intimate department and lost and crying out for help. This is a chronicle of life, of relationships, of heartbreak, of the pain of ignoring the Lord and His design for sexual purity and marriage, the journey back to Him, and the blessings received.”

About the Author

Nancy Christenson has loved writing for as long as she can remember.

Many years ago she dropped out of university, intending to take a year off and decide what she really wanted to study. She never went back. But when she left the bastions of higher education, she took two important things with her: the discipline of prolific journalling and a new classical guitar. In her single years, she used her journal and songwriting to process thoughts, emotions, and life itself. At 24 years of age, she became a follower of Jesus, and this impacted her writing ever after.

When she was 30, she married a wonderful man. The responsibilities of the four babies that then arrived in quick succession left little time for creative pursuits. But in her early 40s she wrote her first full-length book, a memoir, "Yes, I Really Was a Cowgirl." This was followed by a number of shorter projects; then came another major book in 2009, about her marriage: "Made in Heaven, Fleshed Out on Earth."

Nancy and her husband, Greg, live near Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada. Their two sons and two daughters are adults now, and the family circle continues to grow with the addition of their spouses and children.
