Overview

Today, it would be difficult to overstate how profoundly our attitudes toward sex and its meaning have changed. Our grandparents would not even recognize us. Blinded by the myth of inexorable cultural progress, progressives distort sexuality and continue to foster their nontraditional values in our culture and with our children. Clinical psychologist J. Michael Kuiper presents compelling evidence that our freefall from tradition has also produced a freefall from happiness. Despite an insatiable quest for freedom and self-fulfillment, we have become a troubled and confused society with a remarkable decline in mental and spiritual health. With irrefutable research and unbiased analysis, Kuiper answers important questions: - Are sexual revolutionaries leading us down a destructive path? - Is our mental health improving or deteriorating? - Are we witnessing self-actualization or self-destruction? - What happens when we pretend that gender differences do not exist? - Do we ignore pornography's influence on our children? - Are we fostering more love and joy or hate and disgust?

Applying rigorous critical thinking and psychological research, Dr. Kuiper offers a timely and authoritative expose of the sexual ideologies undermining our civilization. In contrast, he presents a powerful apologetic for historic sexual traditions and biblical values. A must read for concerned students, professors, pastors and other thought leaders.--Rev. David Branson, PhD, author, More Love: How to Experience More of the God who Loves You Michael has brilliantly documented the various currents driving the cultural chaos and insanity of our day. His analysis points the reader back to the foundational design which reflects the Designer and has served mankind so well. This inspiring book reminds the reader of what is timeless, true and worth championing, even against a cancel culture unwilling to hear. Michael has presented an invaluable gift to those longing to understand this cultural moment.--Steve Martens, MDiv, former missionary Well written and extremely well researched, but it is not easy, in that it confronts some of the most outrageous lies propagated by universities and media regarding sexuality. As a clinician and theologian, I am grateful to Dr. Kuiper for writing this courageous work to help enlighten, first the church, and hopefully, the larger community of the wrong path post-modernism and libertarian attitudes and actions have taken us. My hope is that the reader will remain truly open-minded as she or he reads...it will certainly challenge thinking for the better. --Dr. Stan DeKoven, President, Visions International University and author, Marriage and Family Life: A Christian Perspective and Journey to Wholeness An intelligent and scholarly work, firmly anchored in history and research. This project takes us on a deep dive into many of the theoretical underpinnings of modern-day concepts that influence our society. I appreciate the way Michael Kuiper has dared to address what others have been too timid to tackle. The reader is challenged to a deeper level of contemplation throughout the book, as differing views about traditional roles and religious concepts are examined. In the final chapter, the author provides a beautifully detailed multicultural lens to give us a fresh set of eyes to look beyond what we may have thought religion to be and to see what we may have totally missed in the midst of our struggles.--Joan W. Ellason, PhD, LPCI appreciate Michael's courage to write a book on such a relevant and controversial topic. And even more than that, to do it in such a wonderfully articulate, scientifically accurate and biblically sound way.--Shawn Vander Mark, Senior Pastor, Trinity Alliance Church Impressive scholarship and sound reasoning. A truly must-read for every seminary student and every graduate student in psychology in Christian universities in America!--Steve Weathersbee, LMFT, seminary grad and former missionary
