Why the call to Love Thy Body? To counter a pervasive hostility
toward the body and biology that drives today's headline stories:
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: Those who lack certain cognitive abilities
are said to be no longer persons. Is this compassionate--or does it
ultimately put everyone at risk? In Love Thy Body, bestselling
author Nancy Pearcey goes beyond politically correct slogans with a
riveting expos of the dehumanizing worldview that shapes current
watershed moral issues. Pearcey then turns the tables on media
boilerplate that misportrays Christianity as harsh or hateful. A
former agnostic, she makes a surprising and persuasive case that
Christianity is holistic, sustaining the dignity of the body and
biology. 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, Princeton University "Wonderful guide."--Sam Allberry,
author, Is God Anti-Gay? "A must-read."--Rosaria Butterfield,
former professor, Syracuse University; author, The Secret Thoughts
of an Unlikely Convert "An astute but accessible analysis of the
intellectual roots of the most important moral ills facing us
today: abortion, euthanasia, and redefining the family."--Richard
Weikart, California State University, Stanislaus "Highly readable,
insightful, and informative."--Mary Poplin, Claremont Graduate
University; author, Is Reality Secular? "Unmasks the far-reaching
practical consequences of mind-body dualism better than anyone I
have ever seen."--Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president, The
Ruth Institute "Love Thy Body richly enhances the treasure box that
is Pearcey's collective work."--Glenn T. Stanton, Focus on the
Family "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

Amazing Book
Wed, 19 Oct 2022 | Review
by: Dani K.
Book arrived in good time and very well packaged. The book itself is exactly as the reviews elsewhere have said: a non-flinching, firm but fair review on contemporary topics. It's refreshing to hear a counter-narrative that is well-researched and based on truth that also does not degrade people believing other things. It gives the facts, but still has compassion on people who are fooled into wrong thinking because it's all they know. The source of all change has to be the heart change, and this book is a good starting point for a thought-provoking self-journey into truth.
