"""""It is with great pleasure that I commend Steve Hoogerwerf's book. It is obviously a book long in the writing. The argument--a description that itself commends the book--is pursued with a clarity and humanity unusual for those who write on this topic. This is a book about sexual behavior, but it is also a book that displays how 'to do' Christian ethics. Highly recommended."""" --Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor Emeritus of Divinity and Law, Duke University """"Honoring God with Body and Mind shows a master teacher at work. Distilling almost three decades of conversations with undergraduates about sensitive issues of sex and the Christian life, Hoogerwerf accompanies students as they navigate their own questions and the often confusing or inadequate formation provided by youth ministries and congregations. Deeply engaged with the literature, this book provides Christians with a wise, pastoral, and at times humorous starting point for the life-long process of discerning what it means to faithfully embody one's sexuality."""" --M. Therese Lysaught, Professor at the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Health Care Leadership and the Institute of Pastoral Studies, Loyola University Chicago"
