John Mark Comer explicates upon the notion of love, romance, sex, and marriage from a scriptural perspective. I genuinely enjoyed how he explains ideas in a very friendly and informative nature. As someone who has grown up deeply in the church, I enjoyed hearing his scriptural and in many ways (in 2020's standards) 'traditional' beliefs. I think he had many wonderful things to say that were refreshing and informative.

Good stuff but not comer’s best work.
I had to write a more proper review for this so here it goes.
I felt like this book was pretty good and had very good wisdom in it. I learned plenty new things and got good reminders of things I already knew but one thing in this book peeved me a bit.
During an analogy in which comer is explaining how you should not let yourself be put in situations where you might be tempted to sin, he says you should not be with someone your dating on the same couch, with the candles lit, and Bon Iver playing.
Now, I agree with all of this except for the Bon Iver part. I just can’t see how he could consider Bon Iver romantic music. It doesn’t make any sense to me, because Bon Iver is the type of music I put on when I want to cry or something like that.
In conclusion, this bad judgment of comers causes me to put him a notch lower on the epic list of fantastic authors, unfortunately.

- Loved this and it's perspective on love and marriage from a godly point of view instead of just going though all the ways that culture gets it wrong
