Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don't know what they're missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign.

For the first time in history, the average age for an American woman having her first child, 26, is younger than the average age of her first marriage, 27. More children than ever are growing up in fatherless homes, despite the overwhelming evidence that in every measurable way this is bad for the child. The Center for Disease Control also recently reported a dramatic rise in sexually transmitted disease nationwide. In Rhode Island alone, since the onset of online dating, reported cases of Syphilis has risen 79%, and HIV has increased by 33%.

Publisher's summary
Many people wrestle with the challenge of finding out the best way to discuss this important subject of abstinence and premarital sex with their young ones. In our society today where everybody is afraid of being wrong or hurting somebody’s feelings, this book offers an easy way to openly discuss this issue. Parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, and mentors are encouraged to purchase this book for themselves and their young ones, and make out time for the discussion. If we fail to do this, then our young people will have no option than to learn from their peers, television, social media, or experiment. Most of these would be far from the standard that would enrich their lives and prepare them to navigate the world as an adult in the face of varying standards that destroy rather than build up. I would therefore encourage you to join this movement to build up the lives of our young people, uphold godly standard, and eradicate premarital sex in our society.

The love that the world tells us to pursue is all about self, about following your heart’s desires. But what is the Christian worldview on love? When we follow Jesus, we realize that he invites us to reorient the focus of our lives, so instead of chasing love primarily for our own happiness, we are first and foremost to give love - to God and to others.
