I hope you’ll consider reading this book. At 150 pages, the author speaks with wisdom, grace, and especially with biblical clarity. You can find the book on Amazon, though to be honest with you, even with Amazon Prime, it took two weeks to deliver. I wonder if the book’s title had something to do with the shipping delay. Still, please consider buying it. Here’s the link.
Russel Moore, President of The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, says “This is the best book on this subject I have read. Every Christian…should read this book.”
In the next series of posts, I’d like to highlight and summarize each of DeYoung’s twelve chapters. But for now, let me just quote the last paragraph of his introduction.
If Jesus thought the Scriptures were spoken by God himself (Matt. 19:4-5) and utterly unbreakable (John 10:35), it’s certainly appropriate in any confusing, complicated, or controversial matter to ask at the very outset, “What does the Bible really teach?” Whether you are prepared to agree or disagree with this book, I encourage you to keep three things open: your head, your heart, and your Bible. Don’t settle for slogans and put-downs. Don’t assume the worst about those who disagree with you. And don’t think that God won’t speak to you through the Scriptures if you stay humble, honest, and humgry for the truth. After all, man does not live by bread alone (or sex alone), but by every word that comes from the mouth of God (Deut. 8:3; Matt. 4:4).
