Pure Sex

  • 16 October 2009
Sex—pure, unadulterated and free. Stripped of all the guilt and restrictions of a bygone age. Liberated from the boring claustrophobia of marriage. At last, the freedom to express your own sexuality in whatever way you choose.

Such was the promise of the sexual revolution that swept the Western world in the 1960s and 70s. It didn't deliver. More than 30 years on, we find ourselves not in a sexual utopia, but in a sexual war zone, with broken relationships, hurt, guilt, and confusion on all sides.

Could it be that there is another way, that actually makes sense of our sexuality, and allows us to express and enjoy it? This book suggests that there is, and that it can be found in a most surprising place—in the ancient teachings of the Christian Bible.

Pure Sex is a book for all who are curious, confused, dissatisfied, hurt or struggling with sexuality, and who want some answers.
