As a Orthodox Christian it's easy to feel out-of-step with the liberal world-view that permeates our culture today. Nancy Pearcey can help you to better understand what is happening.
Her new book, "Love Thy Body" gets to the heart of today's life and sexuality issues. She explains how the pro-abortion side has shifted the argument from conception to personhood. She shows how when a person is no longer thought of as "human" but as a "person" then it becomes quite easy to accept abortion and euthanasia as acceptable, even normal. Pearcy explains how the "hook-up" culture has turned sex into a non-emotional act which demeans the gift which God gave in sexuality. She also shows why we should be concerned as the courts get involved in matters of sexuality and how they take a non-Biblical viewpoint, allowing a person to decide who they are no matter what kind of body they have.
"Love Thy Body" is well-researched and also is easy to read. Pearcey concludes by offering ways Christian individuals and families can be beacons of light and hope in a world full of darkness and evil. The opportunities to minister to the lonely and disillusioned may present themselves sooner than we think.
