I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord.\" This short book explores the goodness of sexuality as created and redeemed, and it suggests ways to navigate the difficulties of living in a world in which sexuality, like everything else, suffers the effects of the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of Zondervan's Ordinary Theology series, \u003cem\u003eFaithful\u003c\/em\u003e takes a deeper look at a subject Christians talk about often but not always thoughtfully.
