    About this ebook

    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.

      Definitely leaves me with a lot to ponder. I enjoyed this one even more than the last one, I think.
    • 5/5
      Wonderful writing from Carolyn Weber. This book follows Suprised by Oxford. Both are memoirs with reflections on Christian life tied in with Carolyn's experiences. Lovely book.
