Reviews

To advocate an ideal of sexual purity is perhaps the last American taboo. . . . This book provides a wise spiritual guide on how, and why, to lead such a life. -- Paul C. Vitz, New York University
Arnold writes simply, eloquently, and faithfully. His Sex, God, and Marriage is 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. -- William H. Willimon, Duke Divinity School
Simple and short, but deep, this is one of the best books on handling sexuality in a way that honors God. -- J. I. Packer, Regent College
I am very happy for this book and for its moral conviction. -- Pope Benedict XVI
In this book we find a message needed today in every part of the world. -- Mother Teresa
A message that is desperately needed today . . . should be in the hands of every educator and teenager. -- Alice von Hildebrand
Arnolds bold statement on the meaning of marriage clarifies for the sometimes confused church a concept central to Christian teaching. -- Charles Edward Blake, Presiding Bishop, Church of God in Christ
Striking for its clear and penetrating presentation 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. -- William A. Dyrness, Fuller Theological Seminary
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. -- Peter Kreeft, Boston College
