magazineThis book is a glorious start to forming a Christian mind that expressesdelight in God’s gift of marital intimacy—a Christian mind that sodesires to delight in that which God delights in, that it revels in rejectingthe cheap substitutes pawned off on this passing age as true pleasure, andinstead only finds satisfaction in what is purest and highest and noblestand best. The book considers the subject of human sexuality biblically,theocentrically, Christologically, and thus helps form a well-roundedChristian outlook on sex.—J. L

magazineIcannot think of any gift of God that has been more abused and mis-used than that of sex. What was intended to be a stunning, pure, earthlypicture of amazing heavenly, eternal realities, has been perverted into analluring but false god that is in fact a grotesque caricature of the trueGod. The contributors to this volume have provided a refreshing, insight-ful, and much-needed treatment of this sacred subject, calling us to bringour thoughts and lives into captivity to the supremacy of Christ and toreflect our ravishment with our heavenly Bridegroom in our sexuality. Ipray that this resource will make a profound difference in how God’speople think and live.—N

Sex is a wonderful gift from God; but it makes a terrible idol, brutal andunyielding in the misery it inflicts. These authors are a breath of freshair, because unlike our culture’s self-proclaimed “sexperts,” they respectbiblical authority and warmly embrace the Lordship of Christ. Hence,they can lift up the torch of divine truth and expose the enemy’s liesabout sex that have penetrated not only the darkest corners of our cul-ture, but of our churches. I pray that
Sex and the Supremacy of Christ 
will demonstrate to readers that Christ being Lord of all means that hemust be Lord of all we think, say, and do about sex—and that in his lord-ship we will find deliverance and joy.—R

Another Christian book on sex? This is so much more. We don’t needanother book on how not to look at the girl in the miniskirt. We’ve readthat. We don’t need another bedroom guide with chapter titles contain-ing the word “hot.” Basically, we don’t need another book on sex that’sall about us. We need to have our gaze lifted. We need to consider theGod who made us sexual creatures for his glory. This book will help youform a Christ-centered, Bible-shaped understanding of sex. This is some-thing we all need.—J
