Undefiled: Redemption From Sexual Sin, Restoration for Broken Relationships

, 2009

Overview

Amid the chaos of cybersex, impersonal sex, adultery, homosexuality, and sexual dissatisfaction in marriage, Undefiled calls readers toward a new kind of spiritual and sexual revolution. Sexual impurity creates a vicious circle, one that springs from misconceptions about Christ and further taints our understanding of Him. Yet another circle is available to men and women trapped in sexual sin, a circle of sexual redemption.

When practiced as God intends, spirituality and sexuality both draw us closer to Christ. Spiritual maturity and sexual maturity go hand-in-hand, and together they hold out the promise of redemption and restoration needed by everyone who has been damaged by sexual sin.

There is hope. Real change is possible; true intimacy is available. To the person who has failed time and time again sexually, God’s message is simple: You, too, can be undefiled.

Praise for Undefiled

No pastor’s library should be without this wonderful tool. If Undefiled is taken seriously, it could produce a sea of change in Christian behavior.

Undefiled is substantial, but written in a way that people can comprehend. It is my prayer that this work will be widely read--leading to understanding, repentance, and faith, and God’s blessing for people and families.
