Holy Runaways:
Rediscovering Faith After Being Burned by Religion
“Matthias looks at the perils and promises of belief, querying whether freedom can partner with the practice of religion. Holy Runaways is a testament to struggle, questioning, intelligence, intellectual exploration, and finally, to the belief that faith without flourishing is a contradiction in terms. It holds a mirror up, asks what its reader sees, and offers pathways of safety, life and freedom.”

Beyond Shame: Creating a Healthy Sex Life on Your Own Terms
We all carry sexual shame.
Whether we grew up in the repressive purity culture of American evangelical Christianity or not, we’ve all been taught in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that sex (outside of very specific contexts) is immoral and taboo. Psychotherapist Matthias Roberts helps readers work with their shame around sex by overcoming three unhealthy coping mechanisms we use to manage that shame.
Beyond Shame encourages each of us to determine our own definition of healthy sex, while avoiding the ditches of boundaryless sex positivity on the one hand and strict moralistic lines on the other. Define your sexual values on your own terms, overcome your shame, and start having great, healthy sex.
