Synopsis

In Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This, Dr. Lina AbuJamra gives a refreshing and honest look at what it’s like to struggle with sexual temptation and shame and how the Church can better support Christians and communities in these challenging and often avoided topics.

Are you wondering why you picked up this book? Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me. Maybe you’re like me—a good person living a decent life, making a living and working hard. You go to church on Sundays and pray before your meals. But you have a secret, a hidden part of your life that you’d be ashamed for anyone to find out about.

I get it. I really do. I have secrets too. The thing with secrets is that they eventually come out.

Instead of hiding, let’s have a difficult conversation, a real talk about secrets and shame and sex and a lot of things in between. Difficult conversations don’t have to be difficult, but they do have to be honest.

In Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Reading This, Lina shares her own struggle with sexual temptation with openness and vulnerability. She points out where the church and purity culture have failed our communities. Lina gets real about the excuses we make and the lies we tell ourselves even when our behaviors point to a larger problem.

This is a no-holds-barred discussion on why Christians still struggle with sexual sin and what the church needs to be doing to support Christians and the community at large. Most importantly, you’ll see that despite our constant failures as humans, Jesus doesn’t ask us to be perfect. He just asks us to be His.

If you’re going to have a difficult conversation, you might as well have it with a doctor.

Goodreads review by Ayomide on August 07, 2024

I’m grateful for how raw and vulnerable this book was for me. After I told a friend about my struggles she bought me this book and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m glad that I got to read her personal stories because I was able to relate to her to a great extent. I will definitely be reading this bo......more

Goodreads review by Katrina on May 01, 2024

This book was honestly shocking in the brutal honesty, but seriously good. It's refreshing to hear the bald facts without a lot of glossing over. Lina touches on how sexual sin is the one sin people either freely confess (if you're male) or never mention in a church setting (if you're female). She a......more

Goodreads review by Dorothy on October 03, 2023

This is one of the most honest, thoughtful books on sexuality that I've ever read. (Lina goes there!) Perhaps because Abujamra is an ER doctor, she is not afraid to write about the body and sexuality directly and without shame. The book focuses on sexual desire and how to navigate that desire within......more

Goodreads review by Cindymarrelli on January 12, 2024

This is an odd book to review. It is a quick read and if you follow the author, you know it is very authentic. Written completely in her voice with her humor. Not exactly clear what she wanted to accomplish other than telling her story of struggling (and dealing) with her sexual urges as a single, f......more
