True Sexual Morality: Recovering Biblical Standards for a Culture in Crisis

Front Cover
Crossway Books, 2004 - Religion - 525 pages

Daniel Heimbach examines the biblical teachings on sexual morality as well as four counterfeit views that have crept into our Òsexually revolutionizedÓ society. He gives us an in-depth look at the moral relativism that has spread through our culture and opens our eyes to the effects that nonbiblical sexual choices have on individuals, the family, the church, and the culture.

ÒI have never seen anywhere this kind of compelling analysis. This may be the most important book written in our generation.Ó
ÑPaige Patterson, President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

ÒA very thorough study of biblical sexual morality and how it is twisted by the world.Ó
ÑElisabeth Elliot Gren

ÒThis book upholds high standards of biblical holiness, purity, beauty, and joy in clear contrast to the bankrupt, destructive immorality flooding our culture today.Ó
