Written in NoCo style (“always biblical, always provocative, always in that order”), Sexual Fidelity is intentionally arranged with thirty pungent chapters so that the readers will study one chapter per day, with the hope of establishing consistent and biblical thinking about sexual purity. The book’s purpose is to saturate the reader’s mind on a daily basis, to think correctly about sex and how it relates to Christ and His church.
Originally stemming from father and son discussions about the sanctity of sex and honed in the laboratory of Men’s Discipleship classes at Bethlehem Bible Church, Sexual Fidelity is perfect for men’s groups, parents, students, benefiting both men and women, whether single and married.
You won’t find potty-mouth discussions, but you will come face to face with God’s revelation about what He created. This book answers questions like:
Is the cycle of porn breakable? Can every type of sexual sin be forgiven? How should parents talk to their children about sex? Is there any hope for “dirty old men?” Does the Gospel relate to sexual purity and sexual sin?
Anything but moralistic, Sexual Fidelity begins and ends with the premise that the believer’s union with Christ is essential for God-honoring thinking about sex. Christians will appreciate the gospel of Jesus Christ in these pages, for the gospel regularly reoccurs as the solution and motivating force to obeying God in sexual matters.

Great "devotional" on the subject of sexuality and the christian. I term it devotional because it is nicely set up to read, one chapter a day, for a month - which even the author recommends that way. If you are a christian and never had an education in this part of your walk, get this, it is very helpful. Especially for people that did not grow up in a christian home.
Nope. Got roughly half way through and had no desire to finish. A couple of good thoughts sprinkled in there but overall not my cup of tea. I’ve read a couple books and a few articles on sexuality from the Christian perspective over the years and feel that it’s never been done well.
I actually liked this and recommend it! I just think it could’ve been much better if it didn’t have the punny, old man style jokes. I get wanting to be lighthearted, but sometimes it made me cringe. Still, a powerhouse devotional on sex, romance, and marriage.
On the subject of sex and the rolls it plays in various stages I have not found a more concise and blunt read without being salacious and provoking sinful lust.
It’s no mystery that we are living in unparalleled times. The Industrial Revolution gave birth to the information age, which has brought us immeasurable benefits. However, it has also provided culture the tools to sin in ways never imaginable before. In the past year, the headlines have been bursting with news stories about sex. From the same-sex marriage ruling by the Supreme Court, to the Josh Duggar sex abuse scandal, to the Ashley Madison website hack— we’ve simply been clobbered with the harsh reality that things are not getting any better with regards to sin, namely sexual sin. Divorce rates are through the roof, co-habitation between unmarried couples is the societal norm, homosexuality is accepted in the public square, and pornography is a thriving industry.
And right in the crosshairs of the barrage of sexual machine-gun fire is the church. See the rest of this review here: http://bit.ly/1TZ3627 .
