Is God Mad At You Because You Are A Single Guy With Normal Sexual Urges? Tired of being told that your sex drive is a beautiful, natural gift from God, but if you indulge it in any way before you're married you are committing sexual sin? Have you, as a Christian, tried to "kiss dating goodbye," only to have dating turn into a spurned stalker who dogs your every step and refuses to let you go? Have you had to wave the white flag after attempting to fight "every man's battle?" Have you wondered what you are supposed to do with your hormones while you are waiting to be in a serious committed relationship? IF SO, THEN THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!! In it, you will find out what the Bible really says about sex - and it's not what you expect! Most well-meaning Christian teaching and advice about the subject is illogical, inhuman, just plain wrong, and unbiblical! Also, the Christian "party line" doesn't work in real life. And real life is what's important, right? Using humor, honesty, common sense, and sound principles of biblical interpretation, this book will help you discover: - How God Defines Sexual Sin - The Difference Between Attraction and Lust - If Masturbation Is Really the Big No-No for Christian Men - What to Do While You're Looking for Love - How to Resist Temptation and how to Resist Labeling what God Deems Perfectly Natural as "Temptation" - Whether Christians Can Make Out and How Far You Can Go - What a Holy Sexual Fantasy Is - God's Help for You when You Fail and How He Can Help You Succeed If you are looking for a sane, balanced approach to sexuality for Christian singles (even though this book is written for guys, women who read it have said they benefited from it, too), LOOK NO FURTHER! In this guide, you'll find the biblical middle ground between "If it feels good, do it," and "If it feels good, God doesn't want you to do it." And, if you are now married, but are haunted by what happened during your single years, this book can help you, too. Do you want to honor God in the area of sexuality? READ THIS BOOK!
