"Pastor Peacock and Scholar Strachan form a rare combination and a dynamic duo in this thoroughly biblical response to the "strong winds of culture" that are blowing. They offer not just a "battle cry", but also a "declaration of hope". "
--Tim Cantrell, Senior Pastor, Antioch Bible Church & President of Shepherds' Seminary, Johannesburg, South Africa
"This series directly applies biblical truth to urgent matters of human sexuality, and does so with both pastoral sensitivity and theological integrity. All too often the church fails to respond to sexual sin with both compassion and clarity. This series does both, and does so with courage, verve, and an ever-present reminder that Jesus Christ is making all things new." - David Talcott, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, The King's College, New York City "Here is an extremely timely book for the cultural crisis in which we find ourselves. Addressing the issue of human sexuality head on, Owen Strachan and Gavin Peacock have delivered a brilliant analysis of the present day crisis over personal sexuality and gender issues. Not only do they make the right diagnosis, they also prescribe the one and only cure for this devastating problem. They offer the transforming power of the saving and sanctifying grace of God. You need to be conversant with the unchanging truths in this book."
--Steven J. Lawson, President, OnePassion Ministries and Professor of Preaching,The Master's Seminary, Sun Valley, California
"Strachan and Peacock confront sexual sin where it begins: in the heart. These men understand that Scripture, by the power of God's Spirit, is the only instrument that can confront the sinful lusts that reside in the dark crevices of the heart. With biblical precision and pastoral care, Strachan and Peacock demonstrate the connection between heart desires and sinful behavior. You would do well to heed their biblical warning and instruction to tackle sinful actions by practically confronting sinful desires with the truth of God."
--T. Dale Johnson, Jr., Executive Director, ACBC & Associate Professor of Biblical Counseling, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri

I heartily recommend this work to every gospel minister-and the church members they serve."
--Jason K. Allen, President, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
