In this dynamic, high-energy presentation, Mary Beth Bonacci talks to teens about the "do's" of chastity. Using Scripture, Church teaching, and humorous, down-to-earth examples from teenage life, she shows that chastity is more than just abstinence -- chastity is active. It's about loving -- the right way, God's intended way.
“Sex and the City,” an original HBO network series (1998-2004) now seen in reruns by more people than during its original run, glorifies the lifestyles of four stylish New York women who hang out in bars and talk bluntly about their ever expanding range of sexual experiences. The acclaim and awards lavished upon the show would imply it holds some redeeming value. However, despite claims that “Sex and the City” is ultimately about the longing for a committed relationship, the glamorization of casual sex and always looking fabulous can take a toll on impressionable young women. Just ask Marian Jordan. In her first book, Sex and the City Uncovered, she writes, “A painful existence of ‘looking for love in all the wrong places’ is hidden behind images of couture fashion, witty dialogue, and beautiful people. I know this to be true because I’ve lived it.” A former party girl with more than enough personal stories of hookups, hangovers, and heartbreaks, Marian now speaks to women nationwide about the unfailing love that she has found in Jesus. Her book will help struggling women everywhere fill their hearts with this same joy.
The thesis of this book is that God intends that sexual intercourse should be at least implicitly a renewal of the marriage covenant. From this it follows that the marriage covenant provides the criterion to evaluate the morality of every sexual act. Thus the title, Sex and the Marriage Covenant , is an appropriate description of the book's contents. Marriage comes into being by a couple unreservedly entering God's covenant of marriage; contraceptive intercourse contradicts the very essence of the marriage covenant. From these considerations, Kippley developed the covenant theology of sexuality described in this book. ''“I should say that my wife and I, while still Protestants, found the first edition of this work to be so luminous and compelling as to help change our minds on the matter of contraception.�' ' "Scott Hahn, Author, Rome Sweet Home' ' ''"A veritable mine of information, Sex and the Marriage Covenant is must reading for anyone concerned with marriage, sexuality, and the family."'' "William E. May, Author, Marriage: The Rock on Which the Family is Built' ' ' John F. Kippley has been active in the family planning movement since 1968 and co-authored The Art of Natural Family Planning with his wife, Sheila.'' ''''"I met you guys [John and Sheila Kippley] at the elevator and then you were so kind to sign my copy of your book Sex and the Marriage Covenant . I just wanted to take the chance to thank you again for such a terrific job you both do, you are a truly inspiring couple for those of us younger single ones who hope one day to get married. Your ministry is truly a blessing of the Spirit not only for the Church, but for every human being, I think that book should be read by every high school kid. I think you should be required to read it before getting married! It was really amazing for me to get to meet you personally guys, I consider it a blessing! Keep up the good work!" ''Sincerely, Rafael Piaa , Coming Home Network , Guadalajara, Mexico''
Every so often, a book comes along that tells the truth about women. This is just such a book. Written in an engaging, accessible style, counselor and author Paula Rinehart shares the real stories and insights of women struggling to make their way through the sexual maze of our day. Women who wonder why their relationships with men move from one unsatisfying, loveless encounter to the next. Women who look back on their sexual past with regret. Women who sense that sex has a spiritual meaning and context rarely talked about. Women who want to heal from broken sexual bonds with men in their past. This book invites you to explore issues that sit at the core of who you are--to consider where your sexuality and your relationship with God meet. In this book you will hear a voice that validates the loss and sense of betrayal that come in the wake of broken relationships with men. As Rinehart writes, "Perhaps we are ready for someone to connect the emotional dots--to see our virginity and innocence, our longing for an enduring relationship as something that is rightfully ours, something meant to be. The void we feel has a reason and a name. Perhaps despite all the hype to the contrary, we actually long for someone to remind us of the beauty and passion and tender strength that's possible in a relationship with a good man." This book helps you move past the past--and into a whole new place, free of the bondage and empty promises of the sexual insanity of our day.
The contributors to this unique volume invite you to both celebrate sex for what God made it to be and fight what sin has turned it into. This book has something for all--men and women, married and single. Contributors include John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, and Carolyn McCulley.
