Sex, Sin, and Zen

Four Stars--a wickedly funny look at a profound subject, and you wouldn't want it any other way. This is Zen that doesn't stink of Zen too much. Funny and human, Warner still conveys an authentic sense of what Zen is as he looks openly at "everything from celibacy to polyamory." Some chapters may make you squirm--deal with it! The spectrum of human sexuality is broad and this honest look at what is is capable of promoting more healing than our current trend to repress or hide from anything that makes us uncomfortable ever will. Warner's compassion for real, flesh and blood human beings is the true subtext. I am more likely to consider a zazen practice after reading his books than any that promise a sure path to  enlightenment.
