5.0 out of 5 stars integrity and honesty team up to challenge every reader, February 26, 2005

By	Joeaustria "Joeaustria" (Cedarville, OH USA) - See all my reviews

Knable writes from the real, down-to-earth perspective that connects with every guy desiring personal purity starting right now. An amazingly challenging book that gives men the right perspective on tough issues we deal with, and teaches us to love and respect women as our sisters.
Every man should read this - and women would gain plenty of insight from it as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars From a Girl's Perspective, March 23, 2005

By	CUGirl (Ohio) - See all my reviews

I know that this book is for guys, but I read Sex and the Single Guy for the following reasons:
1. I want to know what's going on guys' heads
2. I want to know how I can better protect my brothers in Christ
3. This book doesn't just deal with sexual sin, but gives guidelines for conquering sinful thoughts, protecting yourself from temptation, and surrendering yourself whole heartedly to God.

Godly, single perspectives on sexuality are rare; rarer still is a guy who will face the fact that even Christian men have problems with pornography, lust, etc., and declare boldly that as followers of Christ, Christian men need to conquer this and truly be different from the world.
Joe is sensitive and honest, baring his heart publicly and encouraging other single guys to join him in a war against sinful sexuality. Using the perspectives of guys and girls, and the often painful stories of both, Joe presents a powerful and convicting book.
Do I recommend this book to girls as well as to guys? Absolutely! It's not often that a Christian girl can read a book for men and come away feeling valued and hopeful that there truly are men who desire purity in their guy/girl relationships.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daringly honest and Biblical, March 24, 2005

By	pastoralstud "pastoralstud" (Dayton, OH) - See all my reviews

I know Joe Knable as a sincere, passionate friend. In his goal to be God-glorifying, he delivers Biblical answers to the spiritual dilemma I have faced for years in my own life. Joe points out that my flesh has already declared war on me, and he has challenged me in just the first few chapters to, once-and-for-all, declare war on my flesh. If you struggle with lust, it's time to join Joe Knable in declaring war! Paul urged Timothy to "flee youthful lusts," and Joe points us to the Biblical solution with utterly convicting honesty.
