This is an interesting book to read for people who are geninely open minded and thinking through the issues discussed. It's worth noting that the authors subsequently divorced, and have asked the publisher to stop publishing this book; They have renounced pretty much everything argued in this book and no longer hold these views. "Open Embrace" is an excellent introduction to the thoughts and feelings of many young couples today about the uses of contraception in marriage. Bethany and Sam Torode express their opinions in an honest and open manner, and display a refreshingly innocent exploration of the issue. Their use of texts from multiple religions, as well as the secular world provides the reader with a well rounded portrayal of the beauty and sanctity of life and marriage, and how the use of contracteption can diminish that. "Open Embrace" is a counter-cultural portrayl of open, embracing and self-less love that can exist in a marriage where husband and wife are open to the blessings that God alone can provide. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In this bold critique of modern ideas about sex, marriage, and contraception, Sam and Bethany Torode set forth a vision that is fresh for our times yet rooted in centuries of Christian tradition. Weaving together a sound theology of spousal love with honest information and personal insight, Open Embrace offers a compelling alternative to the unquestioned use of contraception. The Torodes challenge modern lifestyles and popular wisdom about how soon to have children, how many are desirable, and how to prevent them, while still recognizing that the number of children each family can best support will vary. Open Embrace is far more than a case against contraception -- it is a positive affirmation of fertility, childbearing, and prudent self-control. Couples who practice Natural Family Planning, as advocated in this book, cooperate with God's design for their bodies, making wise decisions about family size without losing respect for the mystery and meaning of sex. Whether one agrees or disagrees with its conclusions, Open Embrace is a rewarding read for all engaged and married couples seeking to sharpen their moral discernment.
