In this groundbreaking book, Arnold, a pastor for almost forty years, addresses the pain resulting from broken relationships and the misuse of sexual intimacy. He 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 Marriage offers healing to anyone who has known discouragement or guilt - 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 Marriage digs 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.
Reviews
Fresh, but Gospel-oriented...a clear trumpet in an uncertain time. --Benedict Groeschel, CFR, Director of Spirituality, NY Archdiocese
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 today and probably as socially acceptable as he was. --Peter Kreeft, Boston College
A message that is desperately needed today...should be in the hands of every educator and teenager. --Alice von Hildebrand, Professor Emerita, Hunter College
To advocate a life of sexual purity is perhaps the last modern taboo. This book provides a wise spiritual guide on how, and why, to lead such a life. --Paul C. Vitz, New York University
Clear, incisive, and uplifting...this book should be very helpful in living the virtue of chastity, which is Gods will for all men and women. --Francis Cardinal Arinze Prefect, CDW, The Vatican
