Publisher's Description
Christians are increasingly seen as outdated, restrictive and judgmental when it comes to sex before marriage, cohabitation and homosexuality. In fact for many people, this issue is one of the biggest barriers for them considering Christianity.
Sam Allberry, author of many books including Is God Anti-gay sets out God's good design for the expression of human sexuality. Readers will be shown that God himself is love and his blueprint for sex is designed to help us to flourish and live out our full humanity.
It is a great reminder of the Bible's teaching on love, sex and marriage and ideal for giving away to people who may see it as a stumbling block for belief.
Sam Allberry studied theology at Wycliffe Hall in Oxford and has served on staff at St Ebbe's Church, Oxford, and St Mary's, Maidenhead. He is UK Editor for The Gospel Coalition. A popular conference speaker, Sam has written several books, including James For You, Is God Anti-Gay, and Lifted. Hobbies include reading, watching The West Wing and anything to do with South-East Asia.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“In this rich and provocative book, Sam Allberry explores how the yearnings of our hearts, the instincts of our bodies, and the complex cravings of our minds point us to something we want even more than sex. You can read it in an evening. But its effects could last a lifetime.”
Rebecca McLaughlin
Author of Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion
“This book is characteristic Sam Allberry: practical and vivid, humorous and clear, faithful and compelling. And remarkably timely. For the Bible’s sexual ethic, rightly understood and embodied, is not just true; it’s also beautiful. And contrary to popular belief, it’s good news for the whole world. Sam shows us why.”
Matt Smethurst
Managing editor, The Gospel Coalition; author, Before You Open Your Bible: Nine Heart Postures for Approaching God’s Word
“In a day in which very few are trying to answer the question this book asks with biblical clarity, I am grateful for Sam's courage and insight. This book will serve a generation that's either confused or ignorant of why sex matters and what God's good design is all about. This book will help us understand the beauty, protection, and plan that God has put in place.”
Matt Chandler
Pastor of The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas and President of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network
“Given all the controversies and challenges surrounding sex I am delighted to welcome this bold, wise and sensitive treatment of the issues at stake. This is a book capable of changing opinions, altering viewpoints and, ultimately, rescuing lives. Thank you Sam Allberry!”
Revd Canon J. John
“Sam Allberry writes with clarity and empathy about one of the biggest questions of our day. His honesty and sense of humor cut through the stereotypes and platitudes we might be used to hearing about sexual relationships. Here is a counter cultural voice challenging us to consider afresh the Christian Faith and ultimately a relationship with God amid the changing landscape of culture we find ourselves in.”
Dr Amy Orr-Ewing
Director, The Oxfod Center for Christian Apologetics
“Clear, wise, biblical, pastoral and in places very funny, Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With? gives an excellent answer to one of our generation’s most pressing questions. If it’s something you’ve asked, wondered or even just heard, Sam Allberry’s brief and thoughtful book will be a great help.”
Andrew Wilson
Author, pastor and broadcaster
“Clear, careful, compassionate and compelling - Sam's analysis of the sexual culture and why it matters to God is a message for every human being. Buy two. At least. You'll need them because I guarantee you won't want to pass on your own copy.”
Adrian Reynolds
Author and Pastor
