Length: 11 hrs and 29 mins

Publisher's summary

Are transgender people discovering their authentic self? Is the hookup culture really liberating? Does abortion lead to equality for women? Does homosexuality contradict our biological sex?

In Love Thy Body, best-selling and award-winning author Nancy Pearcey takes on the hard questions about life and sexuality. She offers a respectful but riveting exposé of the secular worldview that lies behind trendy slogans and political talking points. A former agnostic, Pearcey is a sensitive guide to the secular ideas that shape current debates. She empowers listeners to intelligently and compassionately engage today's most controversial moral and social challenges.

In a surprise shattering of stereotypes, Pearcey demonstrates that while secularism promises much, in reality it delivers little. She turns the tables on stereotypes that portray Christianity as harsh and bigoted, and invites a fresh look at its holistic, life-affirming principles: It is a worldview that matches the real world and fits with human experience.

All along, Pearcey keeps listeners entranced with gripping stories of real people wrestling with hard questions in their own lives - sharing their pain, their struggles, and their triumphs.

¡Amazing Facts!

I have greatly appreciated this book gives amazing facts to show our positions are not just biblical it is important for people to understand that loving the body is not just a catchy phrase.

These are complex topics, but Scripture is clear on each one. And when we refuse to offer the world that clarity, they continue to wage chaos at the expense of the most vulnerable. We're supposed to use clarity to fight against chaos!

The world should not be more passionate about their views than Christians are. We've got Christ on our side! "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Rom 8:31)

Brings hard subjects within reach

Where does Love Thy Body rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is an excellent book. It really makes you think though these important issues and offers a christian worldview.

What other book might you compare Love Thy Body to and why?

Total Truth

Which scene was your favorite?

It's not that genre of book...

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The whole concept that a christian worldview is actually the better and ideal choice so many seek.

A must read

Pearcey uses a holistic, honoring view of the mind and body as one to thoughtfully and graciously counter the prevailing understandings of body and mind that have hurt those they purport to help. She gave words and deeper understanding to so many issues I have wrestled with, and she has inspired me to greater kindness coupled with confidence as I engage with others.

She’s done it again

I’ve read total truth and in combination with this book I feel like I have learned SO MUCH. It’s amazing to just breakdown how our world views effect our thinking and how sad it is that many people feel so disconnected from their body. If you are a Christian or not I encourage you to read . You’ll learn so much

Worldview

Again, Nancy Percy shows me the assumptions I didn’t realize I had. This book has changed the way I think of transgenderism, abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and more. We Christians need to think about how we view the world.

Absolutely eye opening and needed

Everyone should read this book. It is so important to realize the importance of our good and biological design and why it matters. This book is a true wealth of information and help for the difficult issues in the lovely light of the gospel of Christ.

Good read to understand Western culture

Pearcey presents a thorough analysis of the prevailing worldview in the West, demonstrates how it fails, and explains how Christianity provides a better answer to many of life's big questions, particularly those swirling around the human body and sexuality. Along the way she interacts with topics like abortion, assisted suicide, and LGBTQ+ issues. The final section of the book shows how the state's involvement in these questions of morality are leading to an increasingly totalitarian system.

Excellent

Great explanation of the biblical worldview on sexuality and all it's implications, which give us a high view of the body as opposed to secular ideologies which have a low view of the body.

scary

where we are headed is not good for any of us. giving out right without knowing we are.

Must read!

This was so eye opening and sometimes scary. It is a helpful tool to becoming an ambassador of change in a hurting and confused world. Highly recommended
