Michael’s 1st Corinthians: Sexuality Purity references

1. The Bible 

2. Pursuing Sexual Wholeness, by Andrew Comiskey, Published by Charisma House 
   Recommended from Pure Desire Materials, our men’s group on sexual addiction.

3. A Return To Modesty, Discovering The Lost Virtue, by Wendy Shalit, Published by Touchstone 
   “Every woman should read this book. Every young woman should read this book. Every parent should read this book. Every boyfriend should read this book. This book should be mandatory for… everyone” Rob Bell. Really, we should all read this book.

4. Sex and the Supremacy of Christ, by John Piper and Justin Taylor, Published by Crossway Books 
   This book has several great essays that are well worth reading.

5. Single Not Separate, How To Make The Church A Family, by Virginia McInerney, Published by Charisma House 
   Written by a woman from the Vineyard in Columbus. This is a phenomenally well written book for single people who want to learn how to make the church their family.

6. Sex God, Exploring The Endless Connections Between Sexuality and Spirituality, by Rob Bell, Published by Zondervan 
   Probably one of the better books that Michael’s read. Rob Bell has a captivating way of talking about real life issues.

7. Kosher Sex, by Shmuley Boteach, Shmuel Boteach, Published by Broadway Books

8. Fit To Be Tied, by Bill Hybels, Published by Zondervan 
   It’s about how to stay married.

9. Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis, Published by B & H Publishing Group 
   Still the book the Michael references almost as much as the Bible. But it’s not the Bible, it’s just Michael’s favorite author, C.S. Lewis.

10. Sacred Sex, by Tim Alan Gardner, Published by WaterBrook Press

11. Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis, Published by Harper San Francisco

12. Addiction and Grace, by Gerald May, Published by Harper and Collins
