    Pushing the Christ-Church Analogy Too Far
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2014*

Christ never intended right-living for the Church to be formulated by an apostle.  Instruction in righteousness had already been laid down by God in the form of the Old Testament Scriptures, the "it is written" referred to many times by Christ.  Christ referred disputers on the subject of divorce to Genesis 2.  Thus in Acts 17 the Bereans were praised as "noble-minded" because they held the apostle Paul and Silas to the bar of OT Scripture.  We should do the same when it comes to sex, dating, and relationships.  We need a Scriptural, not a fresh approach.  It is for this reason that I have a problem with "Sex, Dating, and Relationships: A Fresh Approach".  The authors press the Christ-church marriage analogy to an extreme.While it is true the apostle Paul exhorted husbands to love their wives like Christ loved the  Church, he said this to emphasize "So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies."  Husbands on the contrary tend to fixate and obsess on imagined authority.  They tend to compel their wives to be like them (the error of Patriarchy).  God has designed the man and woman to become one flesh—a totally new man in Christ.Christ came with the intention of restoring all things—He makes all things new.  Thus marriage should be viewed in light of the restoration process He has begun.  Christ came to restore us to the Father.  He is restoring men and women in marriage to Genesis 1.  In the Beginning the Father and Son said "Let Us make man in our image", and it is this "Us" image that male-female is to be formed.  Marriage is intended to reflect the Father-Son unity—and to replicate it through the making of disciples.  This is what Christ referred to in John 17.  No doubt—as the authors commendably point out—the gospel message that Christ died for us should transform our lives, and in the picture of Christ and his bride there is much for us to imitate.  Nevertheless, I think the authors press the Christ-marriage analogy way too far.

    Christ-Centered, Bible-Driven Purity
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2012*

The moment I finished reading this book, I started reading it again. These Pastors have been used well by God to reveal radical, yet simple, truths. My mind was changed, and I knew I would want to be able to share this wisdom with others, so I am happily rereading to be able to do so.So often we Christians are told to "guard our hearts". Whenever I heard that phrase in the past, I always thought of it as guarding my heart FROM something, not guarding it FOR something. That is exactly the kind of thinking this book causes. Rather than focusing on the negatives of premarital sexual behavior and using fear of heartbreak to motivate readers to seek purity, they remind us about the importance and beauty of sex in God's design. So we are not told to guard our hearts for our protection, or even our benefit really, but to guard our hearts for God, because of God.Please read this book. It is my belief that by reading this book you will have lost nothing and gained much. It has caused me to strive for purity in entirely new ways, and for entirely new reasons. Yes, I want to honor God, but now I want to honor Him with my whole heart and not just my actions.

    A biblical approach to pre-marriage relationships
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2012*

One reviewer of this book said it was "Surprisingly paradigm-changing" and I couldn't agree more. I'm not the kind of guy who just can't wait for the next dating book to come out...most of them are kind of cheesy for my liking. More than that they all seem to be based off of an "I think" foundation that gives little solid ground for anyone to stand on. This shaky ground of subjectivity on the subject of Christian pre-marriage relationships has left the youth of the church, well the adults too actually, with a convoluted message of holiness within a pre-marriage relationship. The reason why this "dating" book is so good is because it's not primarily about dating...which the bible kinda never really talks about. It's a book on purity, holiness, marriage and ultimately the gospel. I left the book desiring holiness more than before I read it, and I left the book more in love with the gospel and the God who gave it more than before I read it. I love this book for many of the same reasons I love the bible: it challenged me, it encouraged me, and it equipped me. I couldn't recommend this book more. Please buy it and please read it.
