Loveology: God. Love. Marriage. Sex. and the Never-Ending Story of Male and Female.

Product Information

Each topic breaks down into a chapter: marriage, love, sexuality, romance and dating, singleness, masculinity, and femininity, ending with an in-depth Q + A dealing with the most asked questions about sexuality and relationships. And likewise, as I have described, progressive and liberal Christians will have points of agreement but will likely be turned off by the gender and sexual orientation discussions. To that end, I can regularly be found reading the desert fathers and mothers, ancient saints and obscure contemplatives, modern psychologists and social scientists, philosophers like Dallas Willard, and op-eds from the New York Times.

And for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, nuanced, grace-and-truth answers, rooted in the Scriptures. Imagine the mayor of a city pulling up a manhole cover, dropping down into the sewer, and starting to shovel crap.The gnawing questions that get me out of bed in the morning are, how do we experience life with God? And for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, nuanced, grace-and-truth answers, rooted in the Scriptures. In the words of Rachel Held Evans in “Wholehearted Faith”, “…it was my privilege that protected me from the sharpest edges of my own theology. I thought John Mark did a great job addressing a lot of the loaded questions and issues with sex, marriage, dating, and singleness. Because it gives you the freedom to design your own career path, work as little or as much as you want, while getting tremendous rewards including creating a lucrative business, job satisfaction, personal growth and so much more!

Overall, I really couldn’t keep up in the second half and I honestly don’t think JMC could keep up with himself either. I like John Mark Comer’s work and philosophy in general, but this book is not one I’d particularly recommend. We love hiking, or we love that new record by the band you've never heard of, or we love chipsand guac. God does not command you to like your neighbor or to have deep feelings of affection for your neighbor.Finally-- a theology of love that will help you navigate the confusing waters of modern relationship. My grandparents on my mother's side have been married for sixty years this summer, but a few months ago the doctor found a tumor on my grandma's brain. All of that said, while somewhat disappointing, Loveology is much more balanced and nuanced than most other marriage books of this era, and definitely kinder to women and wives in general. In discussing Ephesians 5 and the household codes, he describes how Paul's version is different from traditional ones encountered during that time; that how radical it was in assigning responsibility to those higher on the hierarchy to care for and respect those on the lower rungs. From there we follow Jesus back to Genesis to learn where we got off track, and set the stage for the rest of the book.

Love Coaching is a very lucrative business with many successful coaches earning six figures a year or more, because as an entrepreneur, you get to set your own pay rate and how much you want to work.With an autobiographical thread that turns a book into a story, popular pastor and speaker John Mark Comer shares about what is right in male/female relationships-what God intended in the Garden.
