Highlights from reviews of Love Thy Body
鈥淧earcey keeps her ideas accessible, her prose brisk, and her arguments rooted in scriptural authority鈥�. Gives young Christians the sex education they really need鈥攏ot a list of biblical rules, but the compelling聽why聽behind them.鈥濃�擜bigail Rine Favale,聽First Things
“A powerful book … Brings Pearcey’s unique and uniquely-helpful voice to crucial issues.”

“Important … Passionate … Brilliant.聽Like no other book I’ve read,聽Love Thy Body聽draws out and exposes the faulty worldview upon which abortion, euthanasia, the hookup culture, gay marriage, and transgenderism rest.
鈥擫ouis Markos,聽Reformation21
“Timely … Well researched …聽Reading聽Love Thy Body聽was a sort of Matrix moment for me which opened my eyes to see what’s going on in our world in a new light. It聽is an essential tool for understanding and engaging with our culture’s views on humanity and morality.”
鈥擳im Arndt, Apologetics315
“Pearcey’s analysis shines … She turns the tables by showing that it is secularists who reject the physical world and the body. How? By exalting consciousness or feelings above the body. They want to choose their identity, no matter how much it conflicts with physical reality.”
鈥擱ichard Weikart,聽The Stream
“Takes us back to see the bigger picture …聽A聽very practical book that reminds us of the importance of ideas, and how bad ideas can harm us so very much. But the book is one of hope as well. It not only demolishes faulty worldview thinking, but it points the way forward.”
鈥擝ill Muehlenberg,聽Culture Watch
“Unique … Puts its finger squarely on the problem聽…聽Pearcey’s central thesis is that the core of our differences over sexual matters stem from an unspoken, radically opposed anthropology鈥攖hat is, a deep-seated disagreement over what makes a person a person.”
鈥擩immy Young, The Gospel Coalition
“Love Thy Body聽is riveting, challenging, educational, a shot to the heart, a challenge for the mind, and bold push for the feet.聽It will spark controversy.”
鈥擠avid Steele,聽Servants of Grace
“With clarity and compassion … shines much-needed light on the most pressing category of confusing ideologies today, the sexual ones. Think of it as a training guide for comprehensive, clear thinking about the biological and sexual deconstructivist movements of our day.”
鈥擳errell Clemmons, Cross Examined.org
“A former agnostic, Pearcey looks at what she calls the ‘dehumanizing impact’ of secularist views of the body, biology, and sexuality, making a case for how Christianity teaches a holistic view of each.”
