What Every Christian Husband Needs to Know
With a word to wives from Carolyn Mahaney
The Song of Solomon is an important biblical book for understanding God’s intentions for romance and sex. In Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God, pastor C. J. Mahaney leads men through this biblical book, making the case that sex is a good gift God gave his people to be enjoyed within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman. Combining light hearted wit and profound wisdom, the author draws from his own experiences of married life and writes about the proper marital roles for men and women as taught in the Bible. Ideal for married men, engaged men, and anyone in the church ministering to them, this book will teach every husband how to cultivate the intimacy with his wife that God intends.

Endorsements:
"As practical as it is profound, Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God may well be the best book on marriage I've ever read. I was motivated to love my wife more and broadened in my understanding of how loving my wife brings glory to God . . . this book is truly a treasure." ~Gary Thomas, Author, Sacred Marriage; The Beautiful Fight
"Men, if you are looking for a book that will give you a few easy tips for spicing up your sex life, look somewhere else. This book invites you instead to completely revolutionize your romantic relationship with your wife. It calls all of us to a more profound and deeply satisfying kind of countercultural sex than most of us have ever experienced." ~Bob Lepine, Pastor, Redeemer Community Church; Co-Host, FamilyLife Today
