Sex, God, and Marriage cover

This insightful book explores relationships, sexuality, and spirituality, offering a fresh perspective rooted in biblical teachings. Sex, God, and Marriage encourages a transformative understanding of intimacy.

In Sex, God, and Marriage, Arnold, a seasoned pastor with over forty years of experience, delves into critical topics surrounding relationships and spirituality. He offers fresh biblical insights on the sacredness of sex, the challenges of temptation, and the important decisions regarding marriage or remaining single. Through his thoughtful exploration, Arnold addresses complex issues such as child-rearing, homosexuality, divorce, and remarriage, providing a comprehensive perspective that is both enlightening and compassionate.

This book serves as a source of healing for those who have faced discouragement or failure in their relationships. Arnold extends hope to readers willing to reconsider their views on these universal topics. Rather than merely skimming the surface, Sex, God, and Marriage digs deeper into the root of these issues: our relationship with God. Arnold emphasizes how this divine connection profoundly influences all other relationships in our lives.

With a refreshing perspective on sex, love, and marriage through the lens of Jesus' teachings, Arnold invites readers to engage in a bold new look at these essential themes. By grounding his discussions in biblical principles, he encourages a transformative understanding of intimacy that honors both God and the sacredness of human relationships.

To advocate an ideal of sexual purity is perhaps the last American taboo. . . . This book provides a wise spiritual guide on how, and why, to lead such a life. -- Paul C. Vitz, New York University
Arnold writes simply, eloquently, and faithfully. His Sex, God, and Marriage is a relentless, biblical call for renewed Christian commitment. Advocates of accommodated, acculturated Christianity will find little comfort in these pages; struggling disciples, however, will be much encouraged. -- William H. Willimon, Duke Divinity School
Simple and short, but deep, this is one of the best books on handling sexuality in a way that honors God. -- J. I. Packer, Regent College
I am very happy for this book and for its moral conviction. -- Pope Benedict XVI
In this book we find a message needed today in every part of the world. -- Mother Teresa
A message that is desperately needed today . . . should be in the hands of every educator and teenager. -- Alice von Hildebrand
Arnold’s bold statement on the meaning of marriage clarifies for the sometimes confused church a concept central to Christian teaching. -- Charles Edward Blake, Presiding Bishop, Church of God in Christ
Striking for its clear and penetrating presentation of simple (and yet immensely profound) biblical truths about human sexuality. I wish everyone could read this call to cut through the complications of modern life by a holy and Christ-like life. -- William A. Dyrness, Fuller Theological Seminary
Clear, compassionate, uncompromisingly Christian, and straight from (and to) the heart. . . . Pretty close, I think, to what Jesus would say if he were to write a book about sex today – and probably as socially acceptable as he was. -- Peter Kreeft, Boston College
