Description

Better, not boring: a biblical view of relationships.


David Ayers has written this helpful little book to help you think through these questions and understand why this is such an important part of the Christian life.

 

Chastity is a word that isn’t used much these days, but it means exercising sexual self–control in line with the moral teachings of the Bible. It means honoring God, respecting others, and embracing the liberating beauty of God’s order. But how do we do that in today’s recreational dating culture? And how do we think about dating and, ultimately, marriage?

 

Practical and relatable, Ayers doesn’t shy away from addressing the real questions, situations and decisions young people are likely to have to navigate. With sensitivity, he shows how biblical truth can resonate with real life.  

 

Contents:

  • Chastity – What’s That?
  • Marriage – God’s Perfect Plan for Sex
  • Obstacles to Thinking about Sex Biblically
  • Practical Wisdom for Pursuers of Chastity
  • Normal Christian Living
  • Recreational Dating
  • Sexual Cohabitation Between Unmarried Partners
  • The Blessings of Chastity
  • Appendix A: What now?
  • Appendix B: Other Books and Resources

 

Track is a series of books designed to disciple the next generation in the areas of culture, doctrine, and the Christian life. While the topics addressed aren’t always simple, they are communicated in a manner that is.

 

With the intention of the content being absorbed, examined and applied, each chapter includes a summary of the main point, and reflection questions that can be used individually, in 1–2–1 mentoring or in a group setting.

Endorsements

In a culture that shrinks down sex to empty hook–ups, pixilated courtships, broken promises and soul–less encounters, David Ayers reminds us that Scripture calls us to a bigger, more beautiful, more passionate love story. … a real eye–opener for any young person who wants to take seriously their heart, their mind and their body.

Duffy Robbins, Professor of Christian Ministry, Grove City College, Pennsylvania

… brings a passionate appeal, for the people of God to reject the counterfeit lies of our general culture by reminding us of the all but forgotten Biblical notion of chastity both within and outside marriage. 

Robert G. Hall, Author of ‘I Believe: A Guide to the Christian Faith in the Apostles’ Creed’
