Tainted Love: God, Sex & Relationships for the Not-So-Pure-At-Heart

By David Mark Brown

Truth. Sex. Relationships. Dating. Lust. Isolation. Selfishness. Freedom. Impatience. Passion. Angst. Sin. Purity. Courtship. Envy. Beauty. Obsession. Experience. Pornography. Light. Defeat. Gratitude. Hope. Respect. Community. Love.That's a lot to think about, isn't it? Opening your mind and heart wide to whatever may enter can leave you exposed and unsafe. But closing yourself to God's beauty in its many forms leaves you empty and ignorant, and you still are not safe.David Mark Brown leads you along the perilous trek through spoiled relationships, perverted perceptions and frustrating debates about whether Jesus would date, court, hang out with or linger near the other sex.In the midst of the mess he points out the resting place of God's pure beauty, where despite failed efforts, and perhaps even through them, you can be whole.

Tainted Love

David Brown does an amazing job at showing the issues of addiction that is dragging the Christian community at large down. He uses an amazing mixture of his own life, scripture, poetry, and common sense to show us where we are falling short. I enjoyed the openess and honesty of this book!
