Product Description
"Scripture illuminates the path of marital intimacy. The Song of Solomon shines brightly, showing us the way to the best sex we can possibly experience."
"As practical as it is profound, Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God may well be the best book on marriage I've ever read. I was motivated to love my wife more and broadened in my understanding of how loving my wife brings glory to God . . . this book is truly a treasure."
Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Marriage and Sacred Parenting
"Men, if you are looking for a book that will give you a few easy tips for spicing up your sex life, look somewhere else. This book invites you instead to completely revolutionize your romantic relationship with your wife. It calls all of us to a more profound and deeply satisfying kind of countercultural sex than most of us have ever experienced."
Bob Lepine, co-host of FamilyLife Today, author of The Christian Husband
"There's not a husband I know that won't benefit from this book. This is more than a book for the bedroom. It will train you to romance your wife and set you on a lifelong pursuit of winning her heart. Wives, do yourselves a favor and buy this book for your husbands!"
Joshua Harris, author of Boy Meets Girl

The book is hard to read because it is so small! There is some good stuff in the book, but not worth buying it for the content. It seemed like a lot of generic stuff that most couples already know.

Sometimes you pick a book simply because of the title or because you have heard good things about the author. I picked this book for both reasons and have been impressed. The book really addresses all that the title suggests. A short, but great read.

Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: What Every Christian Husband Needs to Know
C.J. Mahaney’s book contains a simple but effective encouragement about romance within marriage. What is deeply appreciative about this small book is that it contains a simple message that acknowledges our sexuality within the marriage and how God designed it to be joyously pursued, and that it is to be a source of pleasure and true intimacy with one’s wife. The writer also seeks to provide several ideas to inspire men to develop romance in their marriages. The book speaks of this profound truth that we often forget that is to love and know one’s wife is deeply connected to the love, and joy of knowing God. For the Christian husband one should have one without the other.

Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: What Every Christian Husband Needs to Know
All of the things the other reviewers say about this book are true. It’s worth having and gives a Biblically-based view of what marriage is supposed to be about. Mahaney goes to the Song of Solomon to show that God designed sex to be enjoyed–delighted in–within the context of marriage and give several suggestions as to how a man can help to keep that spark in the marriage and the bedroom.
However, I was a bit disappointed for a couple of reasons. First, it was rather short (check out the product details, not only the number of pages, but also the book’s dimensions–it’s kind of dinky). The main disappointment, though, was that I had already heard most of this before–from the author himself. I bought the book after hearing Mahaney’s talk at a conference entitled “Sex and the Supremacy of Christ.” I liked his talk and wanted to hear some more from him, so I ordered this book, but he had obviously used this book as the main source of material for the conference, and much of what was in the book was also in his talk.
So, as I said, the book is good and it’s worth having. However, for a bit more money one might want to consider going to [...] and ordering the excellent cd set entitled “Sex and the Supremacy of Christ”, which has eight cd’s, one of which includes much of the material found in this book.

Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: What Every Christian Husband Needs to Know
Sex – God created it, the world abuses it, and most Christians are embarrassed by it.
The way the world treats sex is like using a Stradivarius violin to hammer in nails – a thing of wondrous beauty misused and trashed beyond all recognition. For years Christian men have been conned by TV, Hollywood and the press that marriage and sex is about personal pleasure. We have lost the vision of what God intended in marriage.
CJ Mahaney’s book returns us to the maker’s instructions and restores a much profounder biblical perspective of romance within marriage as God intended it. He uses the Song of Solomon to illustrate how men should treat their wives. He puts the masterpiece of marriage back into its God-given frame, showing the significance of what marriage demonstrates – the relationship between Christ and his people. He calls Christian men to selfless sacrificial love, like Christ’s love for his Church. He calls men to be leaders, a much-needed truth; and to be thoughtful caring servant husbands, possibly a more needed truth.
One of the great lessons repeatedly brought home is: “Before you touch her body, touch her heart and mind.”
Too often men are more focused on their needs and pleasures. This is not what God intended in marriage – a selfless giving by each person. Mahaney then proceeds to illustrate what this means, and to help us men with the task of romancing our wives, and to develop marriages that go way beyond the physical side of the relationship.
This book is a must read for all married men. Some may find Mahaney’s frankness startling, but he deals with this delicate subject without being crude or explicit. Mahaney’s wife, Carolyn, has added an appendix, “A Word to Wives”, which contains much of what we might want to say to our wives, but are afraid to.
Read this book, and put his suggestions into practice so that in a world where marriage is unfashionable and often self-serving, we will be able to live God-honouring, God-glorifying marriages.
Men, buy it and surprise your wife. Ladies, buy it for your husbands.
