Synopsis:
We live in a deeply broken world . . . but there is hope.
Sexuality is a fundamental part of what it means to be human—part of God’s beautiful design when he created all things. And yet, sex in our world today looks nothing like the way that God intended it to be. Sexual brokenness surrounds us and, in one way or another, affects us all.
This sexual brokenness reveals our deep need for redemption—something quick fixes, mere behavior modification, or a set of rules can’t provide. Honest and direct yet kind and caring, this book points us to the only place we can find help for sexual brokenness—the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. Only this grace offers hope for a life of freedom, purity, and joy as God intended.
My Rating: 
Paul David Tripp is a fairly new author for me. I've never read a complete copy of his work, but I've seen bits and pieces from his book New Morning Mercies. When I saw this book, Sex in a Broken World, I knew I had to have as I had just watched three sermons that talked about sex outside of marriage. The truth of the matter is that sex happens in this day and age -- it sells, it's normal and people love it. However, God created sex for a specific use in a specific manner and the world has completely distorted it.
Paul dives into his personal issues with sex and he uses a lot of scripture references which is something I always look for when reading books like this. He doesn't just give his personal opinion, but he shares what God's Word says regarding our bodies and sex. He also goes into the core issue of our society regarding sexual sin and gives practical and Biblical ways to deal with it properly. For me this book did a lot of convicting and helped me see my own wrongs when it comes to sex.
This book is a great read and may definitely convict you of your own sexual sin. It sheds light into the darkness and allows you to find ways through God's Word to help yourself. Easy read and awesome scriptural references. Definitely recommend it.
