Sex and the Supremacy of Christ - Book Review

I've been meaning to do a review of this outstanding compilation of articles. But our assistant pastor beat me to the punch and did a way better job than I could ever do. So let me just give you a couple of paragraph intro. Then if you're interested, you can read the rest of the review here.

In the eleven years I have been married I have read many Christian books on dating, marriage, relationships and sexual intimacy. Several of them have been mixtures of psychology and theology at best. Others were solidly ground in scriptural. Sex and the Supremacy of Christ falls into the latter category. In fact, it is unlike any book that I have ever read on the topic of sex.

If you're single, check it out. If you're engaged, check it out. If you're married, check it out. You'll not be able to count on all your fingers and toes the things that you will learn regarding the theology of sex. The bottom line: everything is for God's glory, including sex. Piper, Dever, Mahaney and the other authors do a superb job at explaining how this all pans out in scripture.

I would certainly hate to be responsible for anyone getting off their Christian reading track, and getting immersed in secular stuff. However, in the interest of good literature generally, I'll point to a list of the all time best fiction offered up by Time Magazine.

I'm confident that they will have many who believe that this list is way off base. I was happy to see the inclusion of C.S. Lewis's Narnia favorite, and the Lord of the Rings. From the secular side I was very disappointed to not see one of Leon Uris's fantastic historical fictions make the cut. That has to be an oversite worth correcting.

What others do you see as missing? While your thinking about that, this would be a good time to note your favorite Chritian books of all time. Put them in the comments or e-mail them to me at Randy@Kirks4Jesus.
