Why Can't We Be Friends?: Avoidance Is Not Purity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781629954172)

The conservative church has stood firm on many issues of sexuality--but capitulated in one key area by reducing men and women to little but their sexuality. This error threatens the New Testament picture of the church, damages our witness to the watching world, and introduces fear to our relationships as we treat each other primarily as threats to our purity, rather than as brother and sisters in Christ. How did this happen? Aimee Byrd shows how we came to exchange God's teaching on male-female relationships for Hollywood's view. As we delve into Scripture, we discover that the challenges of our relationships are different from what we might expect, and the blessings much greater. Men and women are distinct from each other, but neither church nor society should reduce us to our distinctions. Learn who you are, who your siblings are, and how to flourish alongside them.
