Offensive Christianity -...

J. Chase Davis

For the first time in decades men are returning to church, but what kind of church will they find?
For decades now, Christian men have been told that their strength is a problem, their ambition a sin, and power is dangerous to wield. Instead, they are offered a feminized faith which prizes inaction and passivity. Niceness has become the highest virtue. Offensive Christianity: Restoring the Strength of Men in a Feminized Age is a call to action for men who refuse to submit to a world that despises them.
Elon Musk quipped that “Christianity has become toothless” and unfortunately, he wasn’t wrong. Modern Christianity has reduced manhood into a set of secular ideals divorced from reality. Entire generations of Christian men have been discipled into thinking that the chief end of man is to be nice. But true manhood is not passive and weak; it is strong and offensive.
Drawing on Scripture, history, and theology, Offensive Christianity offers a vision of strength that unites body and soul. This is not a call to offend for its own sake. It is a recovery of the faith modeled by Christ Himself: humble before the Lord and mighty in power. The age of neutered Christianity is over. Now is the time for men to build and fight for their families, their God, and their civilization. This book addresses:How modern Christianity has often mischaracterized the strength, ambition, and power that is associated with men.The difference between biblical humility and cultivated passivity.A historic Christian understanding of manhood rooted in Scripture.The responsibilities of men within the home, church, and society.Why recovering robust Christian discipleship matters for the health of the church.

God Loves Sex - An Honest...

Dr. Dan B. Allender, Tremper...

We live in a sexually mad world where God's gift of sex has been distorted through pornography, promiscuity, prostitution, abuse, trafficking, and rape. The church's position has been made clear throughout history: all sexual activity outside the boundaries of Christian marriage is sin. But rarely has the church honestly addressed the true needs of Christians who are struggling with sexual desires they believe to be counter to the Bible. So we hide our struggles and pretend to live above the erotic fray, or else we cozy up to the culture's redefinition of which sins are acceptable. But what does the Bible really say about sexual desire and sexual intimacy? 
 
 
 
God Loves Sex offers a truly liberating, godly view of holy sensuality by recovering the clear meaning of the Song of Songs as God-sanctioned eroticism. Then it uses that lens to answer questions posed by a fictional new Christian struggling with expectations of sexual purity. It asks provocative questions, such as What does it mean to be both holy and filled with rich sexual desire? and How can our sexual struggles take us deeper into the purposes of God? 
 
 
 
Pairing psychological insight with sound biblical scholarship, Allender and Longman bring it all out into the open, allowing Christians of any age and any marital status to discover sex the way God meant it to be.
