I trust your summer is going well. If you have children out of school, you have adjusted your family schedule to compensate. Don't forget to carve out time to add energy to your marriage. Even a late night "date" sitting by candle lite on the back patio with a drink and appetizer while the kid watch a movie is a great choice.

This month's newsletter includes a couple articles from the "Resources" section of the website. I thought I'd highlight them for you. Drop me an email with comments after reading them. I'd love to know what you think.

Finally, a special "Thanks" to those of you who support our ministry through your charitable gifts. Your generosity allows us to continue provide both the teaching side of the ministry and badly needed therapy scholarships to pastors. Thanks for believing in what we do.

As always, call or email if we can be of service.

In HIS Service,
Michael Sytsma, PhD

PI_VIP_BannerA New Female Desire Drug?
 
Imagine a drug that increases female sexual desire. Many of you have already tried to imagine it. So have the pharmacy companies. With about 30% of women reporting their sexual desire is too low, the income potential for such a drug has many businesses hoping to cash in.

Testosterone patches are just one of the medications proposed for increasing sexual desire in women. The latest attempt has been called by some the "female Viagra". The nickname is misleading since ViagraŽ is an arousal drug not a desire drug, but potentially accurate in the impact it could have to society. At this point, however, Filbanserin (proposed trade name is Girosa) has been rejected by the FDA.

Such Were Some of You...
PI_VIP_Banner
A few of you have asked about the paper I presented at the Wesleyan Doctrinal Symposium in Indianapolis. Each year, the General Board of Superintendents of The Wesleyan Church hold a symposium on doctrinal issues. This year, the topic was "Wesleyan Perspectives on Human Nature: Perfect, Flawed, and Redeemed". They invited me to present a paper on Sexual Transformation. The question provided was: Viewed from the perspective of creation, carnality, and consecration, what was human nature intended to be, what happened to this ideal, and can people be transformed sexually?
I titled my paper "Such Were Some of You: Testaments to Spiritual Transformation". If you are interested, you can read the paper (PDF format) by clicking the icon or through this link. I welcome your emailed comments.
