Publisher's Summary

Gary Thomas, one of this generation's most trusted writers about the spiritual life, explores what it means to build a life of true pleasure - one that will liberate your spiritual life, marriage, family, community, and outreach. 

Many Christians assume "pleasure" and "sin" are synonymous. Others define godly pleasure so narrowly that they drastically minimize the powerful and holy role that pleasure can play in their lives. Still others feel guilty even thinking about how to build a life of pleasure. 

For all of them, Pure Pleasure provides an entirely new paradigm. It invites Christians to embrace a life of true pleasure as a pathway to obedience, worship, and service. Building on his best-selling books Sacred Pathways, Sacred Marriage, and the ECPA Gold Medallion-winning Authentic Faith, Gary Thomas takes listeners to a new level of faith by providing a theological and inspirational framework to help them cultivate the kind of life that pleases God. 

Abounding with spiritual insights and practical exercises, this book invites you to shake off the shackles of misunderstanding about sin, provides the freedom to approach life in Christ with new wonder and joy, and challenges you to experience life as God meant it to be: overflowing with pleasure.

Such an enjoyable listen!

This is such a precious book. It has the potential to enlarge your soul and open your eyes and heart to the exceeding goodness of God who has not only given us His Son, but with Him, every good and perfect gift. In a Christian world that (rightly) emphasises responsibility, it is a joy to be reminded of fun, laughter and pleasure that God also intended us to have. I had a huge smile on my face listening to this, and many times felt overcome with gratitude. I hope you enjoy it, too!
