Ada, Mich. (Nov. 7 , 2025)— Baker Books is proud to announce that The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You’ve Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended by Sheila Wray Gregoire, Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach, and Joanna Sawatsky has surpassed sales of 100,000 copies.
The 2021 release is based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of over twenty thousand women. The Great Sex Rescue pulls back the curtain on what is happening in Christian bedrooms and exposes the problematic evangelical teachings that wreck sex for so many couples, while pointing couples to what they should have been told all along—the passion God intended for marriage!
Topics include “Do You Only Have Eyes for Me?”; “Becoming More Than Roommates”; “When Duty Becomes Coercion.”
“We’re thrilled to celebrate this significant achievement with Sheila and the talented team who made it happen,” said Brian Vos, editorial director for Baker Books. “It speaks volumes about the ongoing interest in the topic and the influence of Sheila’s message.”
Sheila’s most recent book, The Marriage You Want, was written with her husband, Dr. Keith Gregoire, based on additional data from a carefully designed survey of couples. They are now also offering an eight-part video series, The Marriage You Want Video Series, designed for small groups based on the concepts of the core.
In this video study, the Gregoires take the concepts explored in The Marriage You Want from the page into relationships. With refreshing honesty and enthusiasm, the authors help couples discover how to
- show up fully for their marriage
- help one another feel safe and cared for
- enjoy spending time together as friends
- prioritize the ingredients of great sex for both partners
- share both the physical and mental load of managing the household
- notice what their spouse needs and take the initiative to support them without being asked
- use conflict as a way to connect and grow together
- know and understand one another fully and with emotional vulnerability
The videos are available for download or streaming exclusively at BakerBookHouse.com.
