“In the area of sacred intimacy, David Deida is holding a lightning bolt. He sheds an astonishing light.”

“As a woman, I’ve never felt so understood and validated. Finally, a clear and brilliant guide to unraveling the mystery of relationships.”

“I feel that Deida has reached a new level of poetic genius in his writing, and his understanding of feminine psychology astounds me.”

“We all taste God, taste Goddess, taste pure spirit in those moments of sexual rapture, and wise men and women have always used that rapture to reveal Spirit’s innermost secrets. David Deida is such a wise one.”

Every woman knows the fairy tale: find the right man, give him what he wants and needs, and he’ll love you forever. But when the myth you’ve been asked to believe fails to deliver—when you sense you’ve been settling for far less than you know in your heart is possible—how do you attract and keep a man capable of meeting what you most passionately yearn for?

In
Dear Lover: A Woman’s Guide to Men, Sex, and Love’s Deepest Bliss,
David Deida explores every aspect of the feminine practice of spiritual intimacy, from sexuality and lovemaking to family and career to emotions, trust, and commitment. Written as a collection of letters from a man to his “dear lover,” here is this internationally acclaimed writer’s invitation to practice love as a living art, as you discover:

Ultimately, what every woman wants is to give and receive love fully. Whether you’re partnered or alone, Dear Lover reveals that “your love is the same love that yearns to open at everybody’s heart. You will attract and inspire a man as willing and able to open as you are. Constant yearning is the call to open and give yourself to all as love’s offering.”
