“Sex. I don’t think we’re talking about it enough.” This is how Mo Isom begins her life-changing book Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations the Church Forgot. This line hooked me, which led me to take this book with me on vacation.
I have never heard sex discussed this way. It opened my eyes to so much about a topic that everyone thinks they know everything about.
I knew I had to have her on the show.
