SEX: Discovering Real Love in a World of Counterfeits

by Various

Living in a culture imbued with an if-it-feels-good-do-it mentality, youth and young adults need a tool to help them discern true love from lust, and healthy from unhealthy relationships. Sex. cuts through the world's exploitive and destructive false messages and shines God's light on topics such as purity, lust, homosexuality, marriage, and others. With more than 180 "The World Says" vs. "God Says" statements with supporting scripture and teachings to guide readers down the right path, Sex. is an invaluable aide for youth and young adults who are striving to live-and love-God's way.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

[Ashton Jude · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is a book full of dishonesty. The layout of this book is a page that will say THE WORLD SAYS: blah blah blah and GOD SAYS: blah blah blah. The problem with this is that the people writing this book are blatantly fabricating at worst and misconstruing at best what the "World Says" and are putting what they personally think and claiming it is what "God Says". Millions of different Christians could write this book and "God" would say something different and they would have plenty of verses to back it up. This book tries to coerce the reader to believe "The World" is an idiot and anti-God, when it is not. The authors are personifying "The World" when the world isn't a person. Our planet and societies are filled with individual people who all believe something different. This book claims that "The World" says: Love is never having to say, 'I'm sorry', Who cares if I break my marriage vows? Men are superior to women, Cupid is the author of love, etc. These are all things that I have never heard anyone say (and I find them extrememly and humorously ignorant) and the authors are trying to make up things they think will convince the readers to side with their opinion. The only people I have met who have said men are superior to women are religious folk, so it is ironic that the authors are claiming the equality loving liberal societies that westerners live in are claiming the exact opposite of what they actually stand for as societies at large.

All I can say is that (clearly) everyone who has a personal belief or opinion can find support for it in the Bible, so for these authors to claim that they know what "God Says" is the most unintelligent and dishonest thing anyone can do. I find this book repulsive and hope that young people are not indoctrinated with the opinions of these authors. We live in "The World" we each make up "The World" so to try and demonize ourselves and our friends and colleagues and strangers is the most sinister thing in the world.
