What’s the Big Deal About Sex?

Birds do it. Bees do it. And when you turn on the television, log on to the Internet, or watch a movie, you can’t help but notice that everyone else seems to be doing it too. Our culture has embraced the message that sex is just a basic bodily function, as irresistible and harmless as satisfying your hunger and thirst. But is it? Or have we bought into a lie that is rapidly corroding our souls and our society?  

When it comes to sexuality, you can’t ignore the Manufacturer’s directions and escape unharmed. That’s why everyone–teen or adult, single or married–needs to know The Truth About Sex. 

This compelling, interactive study provides an antidote to the world’s subtle yet insidiously dangerous lies. You’ll learn…
·why God created sex in the first place
·what happens when you don’t follow His design
·why virginity matters
·what consequences follow sex outside of marriage
·how to find healing if you’ve been harmed because you or someone else violated God’s instructions
 
With this knowledge comes the power to stand firm, resisting the pull of temptation. Whatever your past–whether you’ve remained sexually pure or endured the pain of misusing God’s precious gift–you’ll find your eyes opened and your life transformed as you discover for yourself The Truth About Sex.

Includes a companion study guide for personal use or group discussion.

Praise for The Truth About Sex

–Stephen Arterburn, coauthor of the Every Man series

“When it comes to the subject of sex, nothing is more needed than a bold, reasoned, and truthful voice. Kay Arthur, in her down-to-brass-tacks yet grace-filled way, is that voice of biblical truth. Read this book for yourself, and give it to teens and singles. They will thank you for it.”

–Dr. Tim Alan Gardner, author of Sacred Sex and The Naked Soul

“The Truth About Sex is the most comprehensive treatise I have ever read on the subject of sex from a biblical perspective. For those who endeavor to live a life of sexual integrity this is a must-read!”

–Chris Burge, coauthor of His Rules

“My friend Kay Arthur has done it again: she’s mined Scripture and uncovered a treasure trove of God-planted wisdom and instruction. In The Truth About Sex Kay shows us the warning signs along the path. She shows us the pitfalls of sex outside marriage. And she reminds us of the promises of sex as God intended it to be.”

—Max Lucado, best-selling author and senior minister, Oak Hills Church, San Antonio

“Can a book about sex convict you and at the same time liberate you? Can it instruct you while encouraging you? Can it help you contain your thought life while increasing your imagination for sex with your partner? Can it help you resolve your past and usher you into a future with deeper and richer levels of intimacy? The Truth About Sex does all of that and more.”
