Hookups, hangovers, and heartbreak Popular TV series Sex and the City features four stylish New York women frequenting bars and talking bluntly about their broad range of sexual experiences. Awards lavished on the show suggest some redeeming values. But despite claims that it's ultimately about the longing for a committed relationship, the glamorization of casual sex and so on can really mess with impressionable young women. Just ask Marian Jordan. In Sex and the City Uncovered she admits, "A painful existence of 'looking for love in all the wrong places' is hidden behind images of couture fashion, witty dialogue, and beautiful people. I know this to be true because I've lived it." Sharing her own storied past, Marian now celebrates an unfailing love she has found and helps struggling singles find this same joy by answering questions such as: - Why can't I have sex without regret or desiring commitment? - Why do I need alcohol or food to make me feel better? - Why do I go into debt to buy the latest designer items? - Why don't I feel good about myself around other women? Endorsements "An honest, engaging, and hopeful response to the dating dilemma. A must-read for every searching single " --Louie Giglio, director of Passion Conferences "Marian does a fabulous job of exposing culture-generated lies about the endless pursuit of love and worth in a language that will resonate with young women today." --Vicki Courtney, best-selling author and founder of Virtuous Reality Ministries "Marian's transparency and insights will be life-changing to women." --Cliff Young, lead vocalist, Caedmon's Call
Thank you for such a special book that truly touched my heart! It truly did "uncover" the emptiness that the worldly dating scene creates. Thank you for the deep insight on what is really satisfying.
Awesome!

Life Changing

As a newly single again mom, I was feeling a little uneasy about reentering the dating world. Out of practice, hesitant yet pressured to get on with it already, I came across this book at the start of my journey - where I still am. And not a moment too soon. I feel no sense of urgency in finding someone else to replace what was lost, because I know I am whole in Christ. Thank you Marian for this life changing book.
LOVED THIS BOOK

This book is fantastic! It was recommended to me by my mentor, and at first I was skeptical because of it's tra-la-la" girlish cover, and direct correlation to a show I wasn't that interested in. However, I couldn't put it down. It spoke simple truths and revelations about being a woman and "looking for love in all the wrong places." The book draws an intriguing parallel to the ladies of Sex and the City, which turns our heads towards a provocative outlook on humanity. I'm currently a student, a sophomore at CSU, and very involved in the ministry of Young Life. I pretty much used this book word for word in a talk I gave for high schoolers. It is so applicable to non-believers and real shed some light on simple issues that are often overlooked. The wonderful simplicity of this book makes it a quick read, and very enjoyable. I have already recommended the book to several friends and give it full five stars!
