Publisher’s Description: The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still blush, we might blush at the words, “Rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love” (Proverbs 5:18-19). But, of course, sin always tries to trash God’s gifts. So we can’t just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to fight what sin turned it into. The contributors to this unique volume encourage you to do both: celebrate and struggle. This book has something for all—men and women, married and single—from contributors like John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, Carolyn McCulley, and others.

(Missions, Evangelism, and Outreach Week) is coming up June 2-6, 2014 and I’m praying for people to make it a priority to come and catch the passion. I’m also praying that we’ll see lasting evangelistic fruit through this effort by God’s grace. As I’ve been doing my part in getting ready for this conference, I remembered John Piper’s reflections in Let the Nations Be Glad: The Supremacy of God in Missions. Continue reading →
