Summary
In Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This, Dr. Lina AbuJamra gives a refreshing and honest look at what it’s 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? Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me. Maybe you’re 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 you’d 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, let’s have a difficult conversation, a real talk about secrets and shame and sex and a lot of things in between. Difficult conversations don’t have to be difficult, but they do have to be honest.
In Don’t Tell Anyone You’re 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, you’ll see that despite our constant failures as humans, Jesus doesn’t ask us to be perfect. He just asks us to be His.
If you’re going to have a difficult conversation, you might as well have it with a doctor.

so good
I love Lina's writing and what she teaches me about God. This book is very easy to listen to, funny, and so refreshing for Lina to speak so openly on the topic that we avoid as Christians (and women). I think you could include lots of vices we depend on eg food, alcohol as well as sex. We need to depend wholly on God and his grace rather than finding the 'perfect formula' to finally change. And not use god as a means to the change but desire God most and then we change as a result of that.. The chapter entitled 'ectsasy' ! was SO moving.. that maybe western Christianity has made the Christian life all about more duties and rules and achievements...when really life with Christ should give us some of that ecstasy we instead seek in cheap release in sex..also I would add food and alcohol. Lina cites as examples the early Christians and how their lives completely changed as soon as they meet Jesus. Read it, she can do the topic more justice than I can!
