entire avalanche of sex literature being hurled at the public like
a tidal wave today, I have never yet found one book which reveals
this sorely-needed TRUTH as GOD intended the humans He created to
understand it.
The revealed WORD OF GOD is the very foundation of all
knowledge. There is no area of knowledge in which this is more
true than in the subjects of sex and of the marriage relationship.
Forty-five years ago you could not have bought any such book in the
United States--it was illegal to sell such a book. The subject was
hush-hush--mysterious--and regarded as evil and nasty. Then the
world's flood-gates opened and today sex information is being
thrown at you from all directions. But it all comes from the
cesspool of materialism, devoid of a knowledge of GOD'S PURPOSES
and RIGHT USES.
Every book I have examined presents the subject from the
approach of carnality, self-gratification, sensualism. GOD
designed and created sex. The BIBLE is His instruction-book to His
creatures, explaining His purposes, and HOW to use this human
mechanism of mind and body to accomplish His divinely-endowed
objectives. But I have never found a book yet that explains God's
PURPOSES for sex--or its right uses for human happiness.
I know well that at least three-fourths of all marriages
have been rendered unhappy because of a lack of this vital
knowledge. And all these books written by physicians, biologists,
psychologists, sexologists, and self-appointed marriage
counsellors, have failed to impart the true knowledge so necessary
to real happiness--to finding the TRUE VALUES of happy, abundant
living. I know what a crying NEED there is for this book from
God's minister. And it will be a frank revealing of the WHOLE
subject.
But I have been unable to get it completed in time. I
hoped that, over here in England, I could be sufficiently freed
from the routine of constant executive responsibilities that burden
me down at Pasadena, so that I might stay right on it and complete
it quickly. But the college here in England is growing rapidly,
and continuous distractions have prevented. I have made a good
start, and hope to have it ready by December.
But there is another book--a companion volume--on a
related subject, which we have never yet seemed to get around to
publishing. It is also vitally IMPORTANT!
That is the book on CHILD REARING!
Is there any subject about which there is less real
understanding, today? Is any subject more important? When parents
bring a sweet, lovable but helpless little baby into the world,
they assume a terrific RESPONSIBILITY for the proper teaching,
training, and rearing of that child into a fine, upstanding adult.
In this field, too, there are many books today--written
from the approach of the modern false psychology. In this area of
instruction, again, the BIBLE is the very FOUNDATION of right and
