Publisher's Summary
Are transgender people discovering their authentic self? Is the hookup culture really liberating? Does abortion lead to equality for women? Does homosexuality contradict our biological sex?
In Love Thy Body, best-selling and award-winning author Nancy Pearcey takes on the hard questions about life and sexuality. She offers a respectful but riveting exposé of the secular worldview that lies behind trendy slogans and political talking points. A former agnostic, Pearcey is a sensitive guide to the secular ideas that shape current debates. She empowers listeners to intelligently and compassionately engage today's most controversial moral and social challenges.
In a surprise shattering of stereotypes, Pearcey demonstrates that while secularism promises much, in reality it delivers little. She turns the tables on stereotypes that portray Christianity as harsh and bigoted, and invites a fresh look at its holistic, life-affirming principles: It is a worldview that matches the real world and fits with human experience.
All along, Pearcey keeps listeners entranced with gripping stories of real people wrestling with hard questions in their own lives - sharing their pain, their struggles, and their triumphs.

Thoughtful, deep, profound
An excellent book. It has taught me so much. Listen slowly, spend time considering her arguments. A brilliant resource to equip us to confront the evils of society and reveal to those trapped the beauty of the gospel.

Why so many logical fallacies?
Firstly I’ve just finished listening to three of Paul E Miller’s books, in which he gave good and sound instructions for what it means to Love like Jesus, solidly founded on Biblical Truth, powerfully backed up with his own life experience. So I’m sorry Nancy if my review is so negative; he set a very high bar.
I was hoping Nancy would help me better understand her “christian worldview”, which to me at least, seems quite devoid of Christ’s compassion or at least how Jesus is portrayed when I read the Gospels, including bits about “First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean", “'Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees”, and “load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help".
I was hoping that Nancy would be able to make a convincing case for her views that would help me understand the Christian imperative for them. Sadly I was left more confused and dismayed than ever, perhaps even seeding ground to those criticisms of Christianity in particular, and religion in general as bigoted, absolute moralists, lacking in human compassion or decency.
Clearly Nancy is not a scientist or a logician; her misrepresentation of Charles Darwin’s “On the origin of species” as a case in point. Her description of Khant’s ideas is also very different to what I had previously understood, but I was trained in science and not humanities so what would I know? At some point, I did learn about logical fallacies, particularly the ‘Straw man’.
Nancy’s biblical knowledge appears to be impeccable. Her exogesis are very interesting. Her hermeneutics, however, at times seem stretched into making a point. I guess she proves that "if you torture data enough, it'll tell you anything". She does seem to use scripture as just “data”; I didn’t feel The Holy Spirit’s breath in much of her work.
Nacy did form a logically consistent argument for criminalizing abortion, which could readily be used for criminalizing the military, defence production, and the use of fossil fuels.
