Book Description
This text provides a groundbreaking look at sexual instincts and offers a clinical psychologist's and sex therapist's insights and solutions to the challenges of monogamous relationships. Monogamous relationships are firmly embedded in the framework of our society, and yet the divorce rate and common failures of intimacy in long-term relationships challenges the efficacy of this paradigm. Oddly, the concept of monogamy has been virtually ignored by mental health professionals, while anthropologists, sociologists, biologists, and zoologists have researched and explored the topic. Monogamy: The Untold Story presents not only the scientific research about the challenges of monogamy, but also the practical solutions to overcome them. In part one, the author explores sexual instincts and monogamy from an anthropological, biological, psychological, and social perspective. Part two offers men and women a step-by-step guide to enhancing passion and strengthening their intimate bond by capitalizing on their natural sexual instincts.

Book Description
"Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame." (Genesis 2:25) Imagine a marriage with complete intimacy, vulnerability, transparency and trust. Imagine a marriage rooted in faith, friendship and mutual fulfillment. Imagine a marriage with amazing sex, but where great sex is only the icing on the cake. This might all sound too good to be true, but it's actually what God designed marriage to be, and He doesn't want you settling for anything less. Having a "Naked Marriage' is about much more than just nakedness in the bedroom (although that's part of the fun). It means being naked emotionally and spiritually as well as physically. It also means undressing all the misconceptions our culture has used to cover God's original, beautiful design for marriage and rediscovering all marriage can be. You and your spouse can have a thriving, Naked Marriage with a lifetime of love and laughter together. This book will show you how. About the Authors: Dave and Ashley Willis have become some of America's most trusted teachers on marriage. Their books, blogs, videos and speaking events reach millions of couples worldwide. They are part of the team at XO Marriage and MarriageToday, which is the largest marriage-focused ministry in the USA. Dave and Ashley have four young sons and live near Dallas, TX.

Book Description
Most marriage books assume the author did it right. Most marriage books barely mention friendship. Most marriage books use “intimacy” as code for “sex.” This is not one of those books. In Real Marriage, Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, share how they have struggled and how they have found healing through the power of the only reliable source: the Bible. They believe friendship is fundamental to marriage but not easy to maintain. So they offer practical advice on how to make your spouse your best friend – and keep it that way. And they know from experience that sex-related issues need to be addressed directly. Five chapters are dedicated to answering questions like: Should I confess my pre-marital sexual sin to my spouse? Is it okay to have a “work spouse”? What does the Bible say about masturbation and oral sex? Stunningly honest and vulnerable, Real Marriage is like a personal counseling session with a couple you cannot surprise, you cannot shock into silence, who will respond to every question with wisdom, humility, and realism. If you want to have a long-lasting, fulfilling marriage you should read this book. Wrestle with this book. Pray over this book. Share this book. And discover how God can use it to change your life. Endorsements: “If you’re married or plan to be someday, do yourself a favor and read every page of this book.” —DRS. LES & LESLIE PARROTT Founders of RealRelationships.com and authors of Love Talk “Whether engaged, newlywed, or veteran, Real Marriage will serve as an invaluable resource. I highly recommend this book.” —ANDY STANLEY author of The Grace of God and Senior Pastor, North Point Community Church "One of my greatest concerns is that culture is going to continually define and redefine what marriage is and is not, and the church is going to simply sit on the sidelines and react rather than seeking to actually become proactive by confidently teaching what the Bible has to say about it. That is why I am so thankful that Mark and Grace Driscoll wrote this book. Their approach to marriage, its benefits and challenges are transparent and challenging and I honestly believe that every married couple who will work through what they lead us through in this book will not just merely have a marriage that survives in this world but rather thrives in it." — PERRY NOBLE Senior Pastor, NewSpring Church "Our thanks to Mark and Grace Driscoll who have served this generation well by tastefully but boldly addressing the real issues facing real marriages. Taking the unchanging truth of God’s word and sprinkling in is the story of God’s mercy in their own marriage they have filled every chapter with real helpfulness. This book is powerful, biblical, practical and healing for marriages that hurt. My wife and our adult children read it to great profit." — DR. JAMES MACDONALD Senior Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel and Bible teacher for Walk in the Word

Book Description
If you like "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas, or "The Meaning of Marriage" by Timothy keller, then you'll be impacted by this book. What's the purpose of marriage? Can you answer that question confidently and eloquently? Most importantly, do you know what the biblical answer to that question is? Most Christians enter into dating relationships and marriages naively, having no real understanding of why God created marriage in the first place. Why did God create attraction between male and female? Procreation is certainly part of the equation and so is the value of partnership, but neither of those two things satisfy the question of the true purpose of marriage. Because the purpose of intimacy has been misunderstood, its power has been misused. The joining together of man and woman in holy matrimony is an institution with much more sanctity and power that we realize. Marriage has lost its weightiness in our culture, and unfortunately, even in our churches. If marriage in Christianity is ever to become what it was designed to be, a complete understanding of its purpose must be recovered. Through "CHRIST AND THE CHURCH: THE UNTOLD TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE," intended for singles and couples of all ages and stages of life, David Grams invites you to join him in the discovery of the true, biblical purpose and power of marriage, promising that such a discovery will transform your heart and revolutionize your relationships. This book is comprised primarily of a series of lies about relationships that have poisoned Christian families all over the world. Countless marriages are suffering the ramifications of fallacious relational ideologies we've learned in church, in school, in counseling sessions -- ideologies we've foolishly accepted as true, while they are in no way supported by the teachings of God's Word. In this book, you'll learn how love, commitment, sex, and attraction have all been distorted by religious and cultural traditions, and how a radical reform of our beliefs about relationships needs to happen before our families will be absolutely healed.In this book, singles and engaged couples will learn to lay a necessary foundation for their future marriage, married couples will learn how to see themselves healed of any form dysfunction and strengthen their relationship through the love of God, and separated couples will learn how to mend wounds and restore love where it seems hopeless. Reviews/Testimonials :"This Christ and the Church book is huge to me. I'm only at Lie #3 and I am seeing my understanding of Father/Son [my relationship with God] take on a new level of understanding. All my questions about both Father/Son and Husband/Wife are being answered complete and full." - Ian, USA ."When you see the wisdom in this book and then remember that it was first written by a young man who wasn't married, it is undeniable that the Holy Spirit truly inspired it. No unmarried/inexperienced person could write the wisdom that's in this book, unless God truly spoke to him." - Marcy, USA.

Book Description
What is the Christian view of sex? What about God's view? Are you surprised to know that the two might not line up? Stepping away from religious tradition, Sex in the Bible compares scripture to scripture to find out exactly what God has to say about human sexuality-and what it reveals may shock you. Providing a technical and thorough explanation of his findings, author Evan P. Turner begins his in-depth study by clearly defining what sin is, according to the Bible, so as to make evident what is not sin. Is masturbation wrong? What does God think of divorce? Is it okay for single people to have sex? Navigating these controversial questions, along with many more, the author points out key words and explains the significance of certain Hebrew and Greek terms to further elucidate what the Bible actually says about any given topic. Though there are certainly forbidden acts, you will begin to see that God actually offers a surprising amount of freedom when it comes to sex. Discover the life-giving truth about sex in this revolutionary study of the Bible.

Book Description
Did you know that many Koran verses encourage and command fighting against infidels (non-Muslims)? The truth is sometimes painful and hard to accept. This book, in the first time in history, accepts the reality that is the relationship between the Islamic texts and the terrorists acts. Extremists/ terrorists did not come from nowhere; they came from the Muslim society and narrated Koran verses. Muslims need a new Renaissance in their way of thinking and perceiving the other world around them. Islam reinterpretation and youth deradicalization is a must. Extremism is not anything except an inside conflict and chronic confusion expression. Outside the religious dogma, there is spiritual world, which someone can get God. Religions, all religions, cannot be used as an excuse for fighting and misunderstanding. Islam has a main section encouraging the peaceful coexistence, but not active and well addressed.

Book Description
For wives who are starving for real intimacy-and searching for real answers. This isn't a book about sex-though Ruth Buezis offers plenty of suggestions to help you enjoy that with your husband. Instead, it's about transformation. A transformation so radical that it can only come from God. By "getting naked" with readers, Ruth bares her journey of discovering an incredible sex life with her husband of over twenty years built on simple concepts of intimacy and small details of creative intentionality-and invites women into the delights awaiting them in their own marriages. Using the platform of her Awaken Love small group curriculum, she dares to ask the question: Why have we built a chasm between being godly and being sensual? Whether purity messages in the church felt manipulative and set you up for failure, you've experienced past sexual trauma or abuse, or you've allowed yourself to believe lies about your own beauty, Ruth invites you into a community ready for change and deeper intimacy. In doing so, she opens the door for wives to embrace freedom and become truly known in their marriages.
