This volume is a personal and theological reflection on alcohol addiction (and by extension all addictions) and recovery by renowned ethicist James Nelson. He uses his own experience of alcoholism and recovery as the impetus for this spiritual discussion, and asks the question: Where is God in all this? He shows how resources in Christian faith can be very useful to alcoholic recovery, and how the experience can illuminate areas of that faith.

In this book, James Nelson offers an incarnational way of doing theology. He takes body experiences seriously and views sexuality as central to the mystery of human experience and to the human relationship with God. He seeks to identify what scripture and tradition says about sexuality, focusing on three areas of concern: sexual theology, men's issues, and biomedical ethics. He blames a faulty dualism that separates body and spirit for distorting the meanings of masculinity, making modern medicine confusing, and fueling militarism, racism, and ecological abuse.

In recent decades, men have begun to question seriously their traditionally held roles and values. The women's movement, popular books, and male images on television and in films have all contributed to men's uncertainty about themselves. There is a major shift taking place in the perception of sexuality. James Nelson asserts that men and women seek something the sexual revolution did not provide: an understanding of the true meaning of love. This, he claims, is the unfinished business of that revolution.

Discusses legal, social and moral questions surrounding abortion, euthanasia, health care rights, organ transplants, and artificial insemination.
