5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for clergy, parents, teens and young adults., March 4, 2000

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holy Sex (Paperback)

In Holy Sex, author Terry Wier examines the root problems and consequences of misdirected sexual behavior. Conceding that regular church attendance has some positive bearing on sexual activities, Wier maintains that Christian teens are having premarital sex at record numbers. He also cites statistics which show nearly half of all abortions in the U.S. are by women from pro-life churches. Weir believes the most widespread and troublesome issues facing the Christian Church today (clergy and parishioners alike) are sexual in nature: adultery, divorce, premarital sex, pornography, and homosexuality. Wier blasts the fallacy of "safe sex" and ultimately advocates that there are laws governing sexual behavior which he calls "The Laws of Sexual Union". These are natural laws that determine the physical, social, and spiritual consequences of our physical, sexual actions. Wier believes the physical act of sexual intercourse affects us in spirit, soul, and body -- an idea that is all too seldom taught in churches today, and never heard in secular circles. Holy Sex is highly recommended reading for clergy, parishioners, parents, as well as Christian teens and young adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Review - 25/2/00, February 25, 2000

By 

J Joseph (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holy Sex (Paperback)

This book is an excellent read, although not very astetically appealing.

It is extremely well balanced, covering all current taboo sexual topics. Topics are covered from a theological, scriptual, medical and practical perspective. All topics culminate in God's intent vs. notes of caution. Some topics are supported by statistics which highlight the pressures faced by Christians today across the world.

This book has really helped me to eradicate several distorted mental images, presented to me by well meaning mentors over the years of my walk with the Lord.

Ignorance is costly. Don't make the mistake that I made by relying on the input and experience of other people. Find out for yourself! Read the book, then go back to the Word of God and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you direct.

I recommend that every Pastor, Christian counsellor, married couple and single person reads this book to dispense of the conflicting and distorted opinions held within Christian circles about sex today.

I feel that the author should sow a copy of this book to every Pastor on National television across the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Study of God's Plan with Sexuality, July 27, 2001

By 

W. Groenewald (Pretoria, Gauteng South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holy Sex (Paperback)

I bought this book as part of a study of God's plan for our sexuality. I was impressed by the views of the author, who not only stresses the Biblical side but also look at medical/physical and emotional sides of human sexuality. This is a holistic view which every Christian needs, whether as a personal guide, as part of training in counselling or to come to grips with his/her own sexuality.
