Track: Dating, Marriage & Sex
A Student’s Guide to Dating, Marriage & Sex
David J. Ayers
What the Bible says about sex
For young adults
Part of the Track series
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? 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.

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.

… 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.
