{"product_id":"sex-for-christians-lewis-b-smedes-9780802807434","title":"Sex for Christians: The Limits and Liberties of Sexual Living","description":"Now considered a classic statement on sex and sexuality from a Christian perspective, Lewis B. Smedes's \u003ci\u003eSex for Christians\u003c\/i\u003e offers a frank yet compassionate discussion that is refreshingly open-minded and strongly biblical. The book is divided into three major sections. The first, \"Sex and Christian People,\" overviews human sexuality -- its created goodness, its sinful distortions, and its redeemed potential -- what we are as human sexual beings. Part Two, \"Sex and Single People,\" and Part Three, \"Sex and Married People,\" are about sexual behavior in each succeeding stage of life -- the things we do as sexual beings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the addition of an extensive epilogue, Smedes brings his text into clear focus with today's pressing issues -- AIDS, cohabitation, homosexuality, and the need to develop Christian strategies regarding sex. And with the hindsight of two decades since \u003ci\u003eSex for Christians\u003c\/i\u003e first came out, Smedes presents an even stronger statement of his two sources of authority: the Bible's moral standards regarding sex, and the authority of reality as we discern it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSmedes's attempt to present \"a Christian perspective for a truly human sexual life\" has resulted in a sexual morality that, within a biblical perspective, is as liberating as it is limiting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lewis B.
