A renowned therapist and mental health researcher takes us on an unforgettable journey, based on an original study of more than 2,500 people, to help us understand the nature of desire—where it comes from, the profound role it plays in our lives, and how desire problems can lead to deeper connection, purpose, and love.

Praise for Desire

"I had Jay Stringer on my podcast for the second time today . . . His first episode was majorly downloaded so we had him back . . . He is so innovative. So many of us in a progressive faith space are looking for a third way to process sexuality as well as parenting our kids through their sexuality. I think he’s got it. If my community is at all indicative of a buying bloc, they love Jay and what he has to say.” -Jen Hatmaker
