The Price of Promiscuity


Book Description

The title of this book indicates that the topic of discussion will be promiscuity and thus sin. Rather than dealing expressly with sin, its aim is to cover promiscuity from many viewpoints. It begins with the effect of promiscuity on empires and its contribution to their decline. It then compares modern Western civilization and morals of our time with those of previously collapsed civilizations. It then looks at the effect upon our individuality, especially the effect upon our body, and also demonstrates how our moral behaviour spills back into society. The book ventures into the most difficult areas of all, that is our mind and our soul. Finally, it attempts to offer practical advice on how to live a moral life.




Desire and Deceit


Book Description

Are you ready to respond to the most relevant questions of sexuality today? Lifetime monogamy is passé. Pornography infiltrates nearly every home. Homosexuality is accepted. Lust has been redefined. The family as an institution is questioned. We are reminded every day that assumptions about what is right and wrong, sexually, are different today than they were fifty–or even ten–years ago. Christian principles that formed the pattern for generations of American families are conspicuously absent. What happened and why? How do we respond to the dramatic shift in our culture’s perspective on sex? As one of today’s most influential thinkers, Dr. Albert Mohler addresses these critical topics in a thoughtful, cut-to-the-chase style in Desire and Deceit. As you follow Mohler’s guidance in applying biblical solutions to today’s most highly charged issues, you will be not only equipped but also inspired to speak the truth in a society hungry for answers.

I want you to have a successful and fulfilling life through all of its challenges. My prayer is that through this book you will take yourself more seriously than you ever have in the past, you will think deeper about your motives in your decision making, you will give much, much more value to yourself than ever before, you will act more responsibly for your own good as well as for the good of those who see you in your daily walk, and that you will have peace within yourself. Its all about YOU!

Divine Sex


Book Description

The digital revolution has ushered in a series of sexual revolutions, all contributing to a perfect storm for modern relationships. Online dating, social media, internet pornography, and the phenomenon of the smartphone generation have created an avalanche of change with far-reaching consequences for sexuality today. The church has struggled to address this new moral ecology because it has focused on clarity of belief rather than quality of formation. The real challenge for spiritual formation lies in addressing the underlying moral intuitions we carry subconsciously, which are shaped by the convictions of our age. In this book, a fresh new voice offers a persuasive Christian vision of sex and relationships, calling young adults to faithful discipleship in a hypersexualized world. Drawing from his pastoral experience with young people and from cutting-edge research across multiple disciplines, Jonathan Grant helps Christian leaders understand the cultural forces that make the church's teaching on sex and relationships ineffective in the lives of today's young adults. He also sets forth pastoral strategies for addressing the underlying fault lines in modern sexuality.
