About this ebook

When Carolyn Weber moved to Oxford University to study, she didn't expect to find God there. But she did. As she grappled with her newest and most important relationship, she also found that there was another invitation: to think bigger about love.

In these pages we follow the journey Weber began in her first memoir, Surprised by Oxford, from her relationship with her sometimes-absent father to the ups and downs of love, 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.

You had me at Augustine... Continuing the story from Surprised by Oxford this book is similarly charming, insightful, beautiful, and filled with hope. Caro, now a committed Christian, navigates life, love, sex, and marriage. As she grows in her faith she discovers that relationships, marriage, and sex cannot be truly understood and enjoyed apart from the One who created these gifts. Everyone should read this book. No matter your situation in life, you will be pointed toward the relational God of the Bible who is the True Lover. All other loves flow from this foundational Love.
