Where the true purpose and beauty of sex is twisted and distorted, the design and purpose of marriage is contorted with it, because they're inextricably linked. So, as Christians, how do we set the record straight?
When we read of God's plan of salvation, it's our natural tendency to put ourselves at the centre. We want a customized plan for our lives from God, and may subtly (or openly!) assume that God's plan for the world has us at its centre.
The right books can remind us of who God is and what he has done, and keep our eyes on the eternal prize that has been laid up for us.
