Playing with fire.

Sex can warm us or harm us. Our culture has chosen to go scorched earth—destroying ourselves as we embrace all manner of infidelities and perversions in pursuit of immediate gratification.

Douglas Wilson has been writing about the intersection of sex and culture for decades. Virgins and Volcanoes is a collection of his essays and observations on the subjects of Scripture, sex, nature, culture, and stupidity. And it turns out there’s a whole lot of stupidity. Wilson invites readers to look candidly at the mess we’ve made for ourselves, and he points us to the way out—God’s plan for fruitful sex that honors His design for the bodies and souls of men and women.
