description: In Love That Lasts New York Times bestselling author of Jesus &gt; Religion Jefferson Bethke and his wife Alyssa expose the distorted views of love that permeate our culture and damage our hearts minds and souls.Drawing from Jeffs prodigal son personal history and from Alyssas True Love Waits experience the Bethkes point to a third and better way. Blending personal storytelling with biblical teaching they offer readers an inspiring realistic vision of love dating marriage and sex.Young people today enter adulthood with expectations of blissful dating followed by a romantic fulfilling marriage only to discover theyve been duped. They learned about love and sexuality from social media their friends Disney fairy tales pornography or even their own rocky past and they have no idea what healthy lifelong love is supposed to be like. The results are often disastrous with this generation becoming one of the most relationally sick sexually addicted and divorce ridden in history.Looking to Gods design while drawing lessons from their own successes and failures the Bethkes explode the fictions and falsehoods of our current moment. One by one they peel back the lies such as the belief that every person has only one soul mate that marriage will complete you or that pornography and hook-ups are harmless.
