Sex and the City Uncovered: Exposing the Emptiness and Healing the Hurt

By Marian Jordan

Book Overview

Sex and the City, the popular television series and motion picture franchise, glorifies the lifestyles of four fashionable New York women who hang out in bars and talk bluntly about their broad range of sexual experiences.

The awards lavished upon the show would imply it holds some redeeming value. However, despite claims that Sex and the City is ultimately about the longing for a committed relationship, the glamorization of casual sex and always looking fabulous can take a toll on 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."

A former party girl with her own stories of hookups, hangovers, and heartbreak, Marian now speaks about the unfailing love she has found in Jesus and helps struggling women fill their hearts with this same joy.

What a Fantastic Author!

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!

I recommend "Sex and the City Uncovered" to every single girl! It is a must read. I could not put the book down. Marian Jordan did a wonderful job of speaking straight to my heart. Every woman can relate to her words!

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!
