Sex, God, and Marriage [Paperback]

In this groundbreaking book,Arnold, a pastor for over forty years, provides fresh biblical insights into critical issues including the sacredness of sex, the struggle against temptation, the decision to remain single or to marry, child rearing, homosexuality, divorce and remarriage.Sex, God, and Marriageoffers healing to anyone who has known discouragement or failure  and hope to anyone who is willing to take a bold new look at a topic of universal interest and concern.

Unlike the vast majority of marriage books,Sex, God, and Marriagedigs deeper than the usual issues and goes to the root: our relationship with God, and the defining power of that relationship over all others in our lives.Striking for its clear and penetratingpresentation of simple (and yet immensely profound) biblical truths about human sexuality. I wish everyone could read this call to cut through the complications of modern life by a holy and Christ-like life.Clear, compassionate, uncompromisingly Christian,and straight from (and to) the heart. . . . Pretty close, I think, to what Jesus would say if he were to write a book about sex todayand probably as socially acceptable as he was.A messagethat is desperately needed today . . . should be in the hands of every educator and teenager.Simple and short, but deep,this is one of the best books on handling sexuality in a way that honors God.To advocate an idealof sexual purity is perhaps the last American taboo. . . . This book provides a wise spiritual guide on how, and why, to lead such a life.Arnold writes simply, eloquently, and faithfully.HisSex, God, and Marriageis a relentless, biblical call for renewed Christian commitment. Advocates of accommodated, acculturated Christianity will find little comfort in these pages; struggling disciples, however, will be much encouraged.I am very happyfor this book and for its moral conviction.Arnolds bold statement
