The style is warm, persuasive and engaging. The content is clear, incisive and wise. I recommend publication strongly and urgently - we really need this book! You have served the church and wider society very, very significantly by writing it.\" Julian Hardyman, Senior Pastor of Eden Chapel, Cambridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe architects of the sexual revolution won over the popular imagination because they knew the power of story. They drew together radical new ideologies, often complex and hard to grasp, and melded them into the simpler structure of narrative. Crucially, they cast narratives that appealed to the moral instincts of ordinary, decent people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis moral vision overwhelmed the church and silenced its faltering apologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author argues that if Christians still believe they have have good news in the sphere of sexual ethics, then two big tasks lie ahead. Our first priority is to work out what has gone so badly wrong, both in our understanding and application of what the Bible teaches and the way we have presented our case to the non-churched. And then we must offer a better story, one that fires the imagination with such force that people will say, 'I want that to be true.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a confident, biblically rooted moral vision which needs to be shared with prayer and courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlynn Harriso\u003c\/b\u003en is Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Bristol UK, where he was a practising consultant psychiatrist and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry.
