- Summary:
- "This book shows from within the damage that the sexual revolution has caused to our bodies, our souls, and our sense of joy. Quoting extensively from testimonies and reports written by the revolution's most outspoken advocates, Nathaniel Blake proves that even beyond the question of right and wrong, Christian sexual ethics simply provide a better way to love and live. The sexual revolution offered happiness and great sex--but Americans are increasingly lonely and unhappy, and they even report having less, and less satisfying, sex. Rather than providing fulfilling pleasure, sexual liberation has created a relational wasteland in which men and women are alienated from each other. The promised liberation has made people slaves to desire and has led to pain. This is exemplified by the dependence on the violence of abortion, which turns the relationships of mother, father, and child into a lethal battleground of competing selfishness... Christian sexual morals are not a capricious killjoy but are rooted in human nature and direct us toward our good and the good of others. They remain the best way to protect and promote human well-being; there can be no true social justice without the pursuit of sexual righteousness."--Publisher's web site.
