Count me among those offended by this book. And I do and will confront such issues as these directly. I have been forced to speak out for worse things.

I know others who deal with them too. They would not have anything to do with a book like this.

I can tell you that the way oral sex is described here fails to give the kind of strong warning that should go along with what happened. Plus it adds unnecessarily explicit details. Why is it necessary to describe a perverted sexual act? It is not.

It is enough to use Biblical words like fornication, adultery, inordinate affection, lasciviousness, concupiscence, reprobation, defrauding, covetousness and such.

Many Christians know what oral sex is, but cannot tell what these Biblical terms mean. It should be the other way around.

Rom.16:19 ...I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

2Cor.11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Godly knowledge follows virtue.

Those aren't Biblical terms, but rather Elizabethan attempts to translate Biblical terms. Anything we can do to remove the antiquated language barriers is a good thing.

Find me a teenager who can use concupiscence in a sentence. Very few can.
