God on Sex: The Creator's Ideas about Love, Intimacy, and Marriage [Paperback]

Daniel L. Akin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2003

Daniel Akin does not write in a vacuum. Having led over 300 marriage seminars across the United States, he is in touch with contemporary distorted perceptions of sex. But the Bible is not silent on this subject. As a matter of fact it has much to say. As the creator of sex, God knows and has imparted the knowledge of the conditions for sex at its best. Daniel Akin sets the many and varied misconceptions about sex alongside God’s design to reveal His intention and blessing for this vital dimension of life.

Wow. This is the best book that I have ever read on the subject of marital intimacy. It covers everything. It is not a trashy or preachy book, it simply shares God's ideas on what marriage and intimacy should be like between husbands and wives. The book is based on the Song of Solomon, which is a book in the bible. The chapter headings are:
1. How to Begin a Love Story.
2. The Power of Praising your Partner.
3. How to Fan the Flames of Love.
4. Man are from Earth, and Women are From Earth...Deal with It!
5. Making Preparation for Marriage.
6. The Case for Marriage.
7. How to have A Great Wedding.
8. The Beauty and Blessing of Sex as God Planned it.
9. How to Avoid a Bad Night in The Bedroom.
10. Put Your Husband Where Your Heart Is and When a Man Loves a Woman.
11. Men Behaving Beautifully.
12. A Wonder of A Woman.
13. Love That Lasts a Lifetime.

The book ends with a marriage covenenant.

This book is written in an easy to read style that works well for both men and women and both will benfit greatly.

As a Sunday School teacher trying to teach young married couples what the Bible has to say about sex, this book has made it much easier. It takes the Song of Solomon and brakes it down into a teaching outline for you with great commentary and examples on the verses.
