| | | True Sexual Morality
I just picked up this book by Daniel Heimbach , published by Crossway.
I just browsed through it and it looks thorough enough. He notes the gravity of sex in marriage as joining two souls, thus the wrongness of it outside marriage.
He also addresses areas where modern culture is confused on sexual morality. It looks to be a good read.

Interesting topic -for those who haven't read the book, could you outline the main points for us?

I want to read it but I am hesitant to order it through my library--the book looks thorough and explicit and I am not sure if it would get my mind on such topics in inappropriate ways. I am engaged, so do you think the book would be better to read within the context of marriage, rather than by a single or engaged person? Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing | He is the ethics prof at Southeastern Seminary. Don't know if he is fully reformed. I rather doubt it. But he appears to be on the ball.
This book can be read by a single person. Yes, it mentions sex, but isn't explicit (minimal, if any) technical anatomical language, slang, etc.

Sounds like it will be a good read--I think I'll add it to my never-ending list of books to read.
