Can you be gay and Christian? Does the Bible really require celibacy outside of heterosexual marriage? Isn't it unrealistic and unfair, imposing loneliness and the loss of basic human satisfactions like sex and marriage? Is what the church teaches about homosexuality a plausible way of life?In this honest book, Ed Shaw shares his pain in dealing with same-sex attraction - and yet he is committed to what the Bible says and what the church has always taught about marriage and sex. He shows us that obedience to Jesus is ultimately the only way to experience life to the full.He also challenges missteps that the church has often made in its understanding of the Christian life and of sexuality. We have been shaped by the world around us, and urgently need to re-examine the values that drive our discipleship in the light of the Bible.Only by reclaiming the reality of gospel discipleship, can we truly appreciate that life in Christ is the best way for all of us to flourish - whoever we are attracted to.

We're more connected than ever, yet many of us feel deeply alone.Despite endless messages about love and belonging, we're facing a widespread crisis of connection - both inside and outside the church. We were created for meaningful, life-giving relationships, but the intimacy we long for often feels just out of reach.In The Intimacy Deficit, pastor and bestselling author Ed Shaw explores why this disconnect exists - and how the gospel offers a better way. Drawing on years of pastoral ministry, theological reflection, and personal experience, Shaw helps us rediscover the kind of deep, biblical intimacy we were made for: connection with God, with ourselves, with others, and with God's creation. A trusted voice on Christian identity and relationships, Shaw is also the author of The Plausibility Problem and Purposeful Sexuality, two bestselling books that have helped reshape how the church approaches discipleship in today's world.Shaw challenges the cultural narrative that intimacy is found only in sex or romance, offering instead a richer, Christ-centred vision of connection. With clarity, compassion, and biblical insight, he shows how gospel-shaped intimacy can meet our deepest relational needs. Whether you're single or married, isolated or emotionally exhausted, The Intimacy Deficit offers hope for those longing for meaningful connection - and a renewed vision of the church as a place of true belonging.Grounded in Scripture and rich in insight, Shaw reshapes how we think about intimacy - and where it's truly found.

If God means for us to save sex for marriage, why doesn't he just zap us with sexuality on our wedding night? Why do most of us experience sexual feelings throughout our adult lives, not just in the safe confines of marriage? Is limiting marriage to the union of a man and a woman anything but outdated prejudice? What is our sexuality actually for?Today's culture overwhelmingly tells us that sex is essential for human flourishing. Far too often the church perpetuates the same message - as long as you are married. But far from being liberating, this idolising of sex leaves us even more sexually broken than before.With refreshing honesty and clarity, Ed Shaw calls on the church to rediscover its confidence in the Bible's teaching about our ability to experience or express sexual feelings. He points us to how God's word reveals that sexuality's ultimate purpose is to help us better know God and the full power of his passionate love. He shows us how this is surprisingly good news for all our joys and struggles with sexuality.

“Ed Shaw skriver ärligt och självutlämnande, men också med värme och humor, om en av vår tids allra hetaste frågeställningar. Under resans gång lyckas han inte bara visa kraften i den världsbild som ligger till grund för den bibliska sexualetiken – han ger också ett antal viktiga utmaningar till den evangelikala kristenheten i stort. Läs boken med ett öppet sinne och låt Shaws utmaningar leda till praktisk handling!” - Olof Edsinger, Teolog, författare och generalsekreterare för Svenska Evangeliska Alliansen "Ed Shaw skriver med en pastors insikt, en profets mod, en sann lärjunges integritet och en väns värme. Detta är en enormt viktig bok med ett avgörande budskap till hela Kristi församling." - Sam Allberry, författare till Är Gud anti-gay?
