Justin Taylor of Between Two Worlds blog is offering the opportunity to review the new book "Sex and the Supremecy of Christ. I have taken him up on that offer and am really looking forward to reading this book. I previewed it a bit today, and am really excited for what it brings - a single resource covering many of the issues relating to Christianity and sexuality. There are a number of authors in on the writing of this, many of whom fall into my "favorites" category.
In a rather strange twist, I have received a couple of other books in the mail this past week, one a pre-release that wanted me to preview it and consider using it in my ministry and sharing it with others, and the other is a new Bible type by NLT. I primarily use the ESV Bible, but I do enjoy reading the NLT for times where I want to cover large chunks of scripture rather than deep theological reflection and scholarly study. I do usually preach from the NIV because that is the Bible the church I am at has chosen to use (most people have that version, the pew Bibles are that version). Before this last week I had never gotten books like this. It's interesting, and something I would enjoy if it kept happening in the future. I love books, and I love reading books. I don't know if I would want to do this as a profession, but would love to do a few a year in the years to come.
I will be blogging my thoughts on the forthcoming Sex and the Supremecy of Christ as a condition of my getting to review the book. I have high expectations for the book, and I expect it will meet or exceed those expectations.
