In Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This, Dr. Lina AbuJamra gives a refreshing and honest look at what its like to struggle with sexual temptation and shame and how the Church can better support Christians and communities in these challenging and often avoided topics.Are you wondering why you picked up this book? Dont worry. Your secret is safe with me. Maybe youre like me-a good person living a decent life, making a living and working hard. You go to church on Sundays and pray before your meals. But you have a secret, a hidden part of your life that youd be ashamed for anyone to find out about.I get it. I really do. I have secrets too. The thing with secrets is that they eventually come out.Instead of hiding, lets have a difficult conversation, a real talk about secrets and shame and sex and a lot of things in between. Difficult conversations dont have to be difficult, but they do have to be honest.In Dont Tell Anyone Youre Reading This, Lina shares her own struggle with sexual temptation with openness and vulnerability. She points out where the church and purity culture have failed our communities. Lina gets real about the excuses we make and the lies we tell ourselves even when our behaviors point to a larger problem.This is a no-holds-barred discussion on why Christians still struggle with sexual sin and what the church needs to be doing to support Christians and the community at large. Most importantly, youll see that despite our constant failures as humans, Jesus doesnt ask us to be perfect. He just asks us to be His.If youre going to have a difficult conversation, you might as well have it with a doctor.
