About this audiobook
The Song of Solomon is an important biblical book for understanding God's intentions for romance and sex. In Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God, pastor C. J. Mahaney leads men through this biblical book, making the case that sex is a good gift God gave his people to be enjoyed within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman. Combining light hearted wit and profound wisdom, the author draws from his own experiences of married life and writes about the proper marital roles for men and women as taught in the Bible. Ideal for married men, engaged men, and anyone in the church ministering to them, this audiobook will teach every husband how to cultivate the intimacy with his wife that God intends.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5SOLID truth and SUPER helpful. By God’s grace, my wife and I have been married for almost 20 years. These truths (reformed and Biblical) are unbelievably helpful. I especially liked the part about “carefully composed words.” Super helpful!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: Now, there's a book title that piqued my interest! C.J. Mahaney writes from a man's perspective to husbands on how to improve their romantic life. His seminal thought is, "You must touch the heart and mind of your wife before you touch her body" (28). This thought is echoed in every chapter. Mahaney covers the Song of Solomon to make his case. A quick aside on Mahaney's use of Solomon: I appreciate that he doesn't twist this love letter into some mystical explanation. Too many pastors and theologians perform hermeneutical gymnastics with this book. As Mahaney notes, Song of Songs "is exactly what it appears to be: a celebration of marital intimacy" (11).Included in the strengths of this book is the idea that language is sexual. In a world where email, text, and social media flirtations abound, the church needs to emphasize the necessity of protecting our hearts and our words. I enjoyed this book. However, I felt like many things were left unsaid. While short books are the rage, I would have liked to see what Mahaney would have written in 250 pages. As it was, what he wrote was helpful. This book is definitely worth the read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A worthwhile read, even for those husbands already being intentional about romancing their wives. Mahaney discusses practical ideas for romancing our wives within a biblical framework, primarily from the Song of Solomon. Mahaney interprets Song of Solomon as related to a romantic and sexual relationship and applies segments of the biblical book to modern marriage.It's heavier on philosophical framework than the "just tell me what to do" crowd would probably like but manages to keep that to the minimum necessary to give proper context for the numerous practical helps.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5A fair book that would have stood supremely in its own right without Mahaney's attempt to humanise the book of the Song of Solomon.
