Sex, Lies and Religion: Randy Elrod’s new book is gonna cause a stir…in a good way!
Posted by Rich Kirkpatrick in Books, Christian Life
It is that time when no matter the financial
or family problems, no matter the turmoil that pervades the
world, for a few brief moments, “all is right in the world.” As
we collapse in sweaty euphoria, we together realize a time
of transcendent wonder. There dawns a realization that we
have indeed been granted the privilege to see the face of a
holy God. — Randy Elrod
Sex, Lies and Religion — A provocative, thoughtful, controversial book by author, blogger and creative Randy Elrod. I have known Randy for nearly a decade and can attest to his passion for seeing people live a life of liberty before God and their church communities. This book, even though it may not reflect all of my personal views, is surely a must-read and certainly a conversation that is lacking in today’s Christian circles.Yes, we talk about sex. But, do we apply theology, thought and a sense of experience in our conversation like Elrod? No, I fear not. This is not a let-me-push-every-button kind of book. Even though there is controversial views, everyone of them is presented with maturity and thoughtfulness. I applaud such a brave work and hope to learn from Elrod even more in the future. It is a good thing that what some of us appreciate being under his mentorship many now can experience.
