Holy Sex: Song of Solomon


Michael Pearl - 2002
    God created his children as sexual opposites, and designed marriage to be the context of erotic pleasure.  While the church has been mostly silent on the subject of sex, the world and the devil have attempted to make it their domain. The church has rightly proclaimed the biblical prohibitions on the misuse of sex, but it has failed to speak out on the godliness of erotic pleasure in the context of marriage. Out of the 66 books composing the Bible, one whole book is dedicated to promoting erotic pleasure—the Song of Solomon.  Michael Pearl takes his readers through a refreshing journey of the Biblical texts.  This sanctifying look at the most powerful passion God ever created will free the reader from false guilt and inhibition.  Michael Pearl says, “It is time for Christian couples to take back this sacred ground and enjoy the holy gift of sexual pleasure.” This material is intended for mature audiences.  Don’t read this book unless you are married, have definite plans to be married in the next few weeks, or are an older teenager whose parents have first read it and approve of you doing so. If you don’t think God meant for sex to be fun, this book is definitely for you!
