As Ferrer points out, “As Christians, our sexual ethic is a major way in which we are called to be set apart from the world because sexual holiness is, in essence, a sign of our knowledge of and commitment to God. In a culture where children are being taught they can literally choose their gender (in kindergarten, no less), this book is a much-needed read for parents looking to raise kids grounded in the Christian faith. It is the hot topic of today, in every area of life, and especially with our kids: “The message the world is telling our kids is that one’s preference for sex is no longer even a preference it is a person’s very identity-a foundational aspect which can neither be questioned by others nor restricted” (23). Both books have, in my opinion, hit the nail on the head when it comes to the wide smorgasbord of ideas surrounding sexuality in current culture. I’ve been reading this book concurrently with Messy Truth by Caleb Kaltenbach (writer of Messy Grace, one of my all-time favorites).

My Impressions: This book is the “sequel” to Mama Bear Apologetics ( read my review), and it is a much needed voice. Who has the authority to say what we do with our bodies? Who has the authority to define sexual morality and immorality? Who has the authority to define marriage? What does authority even mean? What does good authority look like? Can it even exist?” (49). Favorite Quote: “I truly believe that much of the distortion surrounding gender, sex, and marriage can be traced back to a fundamental principle: the principle of authority.
