Exposing the Lure of Romance and Erotica

What it is

Dr. Juli Slattery and Dannah Gresh talk through the cultural fascination with erotic fiction that Fifty Shades of Grey brought into the open, and what it does to a woman's expectations, her marriage and her sense of herself. It is the audio version of the argument they make in print: that sexual temptation for women often arrives as narrative rather than image, and that the church has left this almost entirely unaddressed. Published February 2015, so the specific cultural reference points are dated even if the substance is not. Free as a digital download. Good to share with a women's group or to give a husband who has found his wife's reading and does not know what to think about it.
