Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Arthur-a well-known speaker, author of more than 100 books and Bible studies, and founder of Precept Ministries International along with her husband, Jack-tackles the tough subject of sexuality and the Christian life. From Genesis to Revelation, she dissects the Bible and leads readers through what it has to say about sex and its misuse outside of the context of marriage between a man and woman. Even though Arthur never sidesteps what she believes are God's harsh words on the subject, she does so with compassion, as someone who knows the personal consequences of irresponsible behavior-she confesses to having had numerous affairs after her divorce. "There is hope no matter what has been done to you sexually," she says. "You can recover; your loved ones can recover. Our society could recover!" In a wonderful analogy she uses with teens, she likens sex to a can of Drano. It's a great product, but it has to be used according to the manufacturer's directions, or it can poison or even kill a person. Most of the book deals with the consequences of sex outside of marriage, but ends on a hopeful note that those who have engaged in illicit sex can experience God's redemption and recapture His original vision for their lives. She calls it a return to the Garden of Eden, in which a man and woman bound in holy matrimony explore and delight in sexual union-something that transcends the physical and weds their spirits.

In this companion study guide to her groundbreaking book and video, Sex…According to God, Kay Arthur approaches this vital topic not to shock or offend, but to boldly equip you to experience God’s absolute best for your life–whether you’re married or single–by understanding and obeying His will regarding sex.
This practical, powerful guide will take you through the Scriptures to answer the questions you’re most likely struggling with:
·Why do we have sex anyway?
·What does God allow when it comes to sex–when, where, and with whom?
·If we both want it, who are we hurting?
·Are homosexuals born that way, or can they change?
·Why does God restrict my freedom–doesn’t He want me to be happy?
·Are these feelings that seem so uncontrollable normal?
·What do I do if I’ve messed up?
·And much more
Experience the ultimate liberation by understanding and living according to God’s will for sex. As Kay explains, “Sex really is beautiful. Yet the beauty of sex shines all the more brilliantly when seen in the pure light of God’s Word.”
