Contest
“Real Marriage” Contest
Unique for his candid – and to many, controversial – messages, Pastor Mark Driscoll is set to once again send shock waves throughout the evangelical world, confronting head-on and in broad daylight subjects that most would dare only explore behind closed doors – if then.
Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship & Life Together (Thomas Nelson, Inc.) – co-authored by Driscoll’s wife, Grace - hits stores on January 3rd and vows to be one of the most talked-about Christian marriage releases in years.
While the book spends significant space exploring Scripture, statistics, culture, (the rarely-discussed topic of) friendship in marriage and sharing highly-personal details about their own pasts and marriage, what’s sure to get the most attention are the chapters on submission, biblical sexuality, masturbation, pornography and the ‘Can we do that?’ sex questions most couples, Driscoll says, are too embarrassed to ask their pastor.
