About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's wonderful how the author writes in a way that the reader (listener) feels the whole picture, scenery and characters. The best of all is to know that is a true story. I love the book title, the narrator chosen and how the author (Carol) presents biblical truths in a daily life specially regarding to sex, marriage and relationship. I wish that could have a translation to Portuguese so my friends could read/listen.
