“Wonderful guide.” Sam Allberry, author of Is God Anti-Gay?
Description
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, bestselling 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 readers 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 readers entranced with gripping stories of real people wrestling with hard questions in their own lives—sharing their pain, their struggles, and their triumphs.
Praise
“Wonderful guide.” Sam Allberry, author of Is God Anti-Gay?
“Liberal secularist ideology rests on a mistake, and Nancy Pearcey in her terrific new book puts her finger right on it. In embracing abortion, euthanasia, homosexual conduct and relationships, transgenderism, and the like, liberal secularism…is philosophically as well as theologically untenable.” Robert P. George, Princeton University
“A must-read.” Rosaria Butterfield, former professor, Syracuse University; author, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert
“Unmasks the far-reaching practical consequences of mind-body dualism better than anyone I have ever seen.” Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president, the Ruth Institute
