Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality

Why the call toÂ Love Thy Body?Â To counter a pervasive hostility toward the body and biology that drives today's headline stories:
Â
Transgenderism: Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to kindergarten are being taught their bodies are irrelevant. Is this affirming--or does it demean the body?

Homosexuality: Advocates disconnect sexuality from biological identity. Is this liberating--or does it denigrate biology?

Abortion: Supporters deny the fetus is a person, though it is biologically human. Does this mean equality for women--or does it threaten the intrinsic value of all humans?

Euthanasia:Â Those who lack certain cognitive abilities are said to be no longer persons. Is this compassionate--or does it ultimately put everyone at risk?
Â
InÂ Love Thy Body,Â bestselling author Nancy Pearcey goes beyond politically correct slogans with a riveting exposÃ© of the dehumanizing worldview that shapes current watershed moral issues.
Â
Pearcey then turns the tables on media boilerplate that misportrays Christianity as harsh or hateful.Â A former agnostic, she makes a surprising and persuasive case that ChristianityÂ is holistic, sustaining the dignity of the body and biology.
Â
Throughout she entrances readers with compassionate stories of people wrestling with hard questions in their own lives--their pain, their struggles, their triumphs.

"Liberal secularist ideology rests on a mistake and Nancy Pearcey in her terrific new book puts her finger right on it. In embracing abortion, euthanasia, homosexual conduct and relationships, transgenderism, and the like, liberal secularism . . . is philosophically as well as theologically untenable."--Robert P. George,Â PrincetonÂ University

"Essential reading . . . Love Thy Body brings clarity and understanding to the multitude of complex and confusing views in discussions about love and sexuality."--Becky Norton Dunlop, Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow, The Heritage Foundation

"Pearcey gets straight to the issue of our day: What makes humans valuable in the first place? You must get this book. Don't just read it. Master it."--Scott Klusendorf, president, Life Training Institute
