Our bodies tell God's story : discovering the divine plan for love, sex, and gender / Christopher West. - xv, 187 pages ; 22 cm
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Our bodies tell God's story -- Sex in the Garden of Eden -- The fall and redemption of sex -- Will there be sex in heaven? -- This is a great mystery -- Sex refers to Christ and his church -- Keeping God in the bedroom.
In response to a world awash in sexual chaos and gender confusion, this book offers a bold and thoroughly biblical look at the meaning of the body, sex, gender, and marriage. In our post-sexual-revolution world, we need to remember that our bodies tell a divine story and proclaim the gospel itself. As male and female and in the call to become "one flesh," our bodies reveal a "great mystery" that mirrors Christ's love for the church (Eph. 5:31-32). This book provides a redemptive rather than repressive approach to sexual purity, explores the true meaning of sex and marriage, and offers a compelling vision of what it means to be created male and female.
