Purchase options and add-ons

A one-stop resource for biblical truths on the toughest questions and most challenging situations including anxiety, depression, sexual intimacy, marriage, and more.

Hot-button issues dominating our culture can make speaking out feel taboo. Hiding from hard conversations won’t work. We need to know what God actually says about these issues, and by looking to Scripture, we can find the answers.

In Taboo, author Mike Novotny covers deeply personal, vulnerable, and emotional topics, handling them with grace and respect. It’s the ultimate resource for Christians looking to create change and deal with struggles in their own lives.

God’s Word gives us clarity, healing, and hope. Taboo is a must-read for Christians looking for a biblically based resource to modern questions.

Not talking is not helping! It’s time for believers to step gracefully into the Taboo and share God’s truth with a world in need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Version is Great and so is the Paperback Book!
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024

Pro: Excellent for answering those hard questions backed up by scriptures that I'm frequently asked by those seeking God's viewpoints. I'm not a pastor, just an ordinary Believer that is filled with the joy and peace that only the Holy Spirit reveals when you accept the sacrifice that our Father in heaven gives to us through his son, Jesus. He stands at the door of our heart knocking, waiting for us to accept his incredible gift of forgiveness in exchange for whatever burdens and heaviness you can no longer carry alone. Reading this book brings me joy and gratitude that I want to share with others. I also wanted to purchase the paperback version so I could loan it out to my friends. The print version is large enough for me to read it as long as I have plenty of daylight to see it by. If I had to summon it up in a few words, I'd have to say the author believes in LOVE for everyone, regardless of how bad they sinned and who they harmed before repenting and accepted Jesus' forgiving them because he died for all who believe he is the Son of God, rose from the dead, and we are made clean and righteous before His Father because of it. Definitely worth reading, it certainly showed me that I have a lot to work on when it comes to praying for those who harmed me. Love your enemies and pray for forgiveness and salvation to come to them. That's heavy scripture, folks.
Con: None at the present time, but I do recommend you read it through the end before you judge it. I'd also pray about giving it as a gift to anyone under 21.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for all! Mike touches topics that so many Christians/churches avoid!
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024
Verified Purchase
The topics in Taboo need to be discussed and shared under the guidance of God's Word, as Mike has done so wonderfully. There is such an ease to reading this book as Mike delicately brings to light what God wants for all people, an eternal life with him in heaven. So often Christians make these topics so black and white and do not even allow any discussion, which turns off many from even hearing the truth of Jesus and believing in him. Mike shares the truth in love so that we all may address these topics in our personal lives, in our churches, in our small groups and so that we may live a life of love that constantly points to Jesus.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've gone back to this book multiple times since reading it.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024

Taboo is very practical. I've found myself going back to it frequently after reading it since it's so applicable to everyday life. Many of the topics covered in the book come up in my life and ministry throughout the week and it's so nice to have a good resource to go to!

Mike has a passion for God's Word and God's people and especially for people far from God. I share this passion and consider Mike an ally in reaching people for Christ and equipping Christians to be the best followers of Jesus they can be.

Pastor Mike brings new insight into tough topics. Outstanding balance between God's truth and grace. It is a great reference to come back to over and over as challenges arise. I have three grandchildren that all will be graduating this year. You bet each one will get this book as a gift to help guide their way as they step out on their own in this world filled with Taboo challenges.

If you want to know what not conforming to the pattern of this world but still caring deeply about what on the mind of so many in our world, get a copy of this book. We all are too inward focused and this book will help you love your neighbor better rather than avoid the elephants and go with the flow. It sure to be and Eye opening read, and a topic of conversation for any small group study!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tackling Taboo topics with grace and love
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
Verified Purchase
I highly recommend Taboo for its clarity on biblical truths on some of the most challenging situations we face in ministry and life today. The book constantly takes us back to the grace and love that Christ has shown all of us, and helps us understand how we can and should show love and grace as we work through taboo topics with others.
