Lester Sumrall Ministries has released several books by Dr. Sumrall.

Lester Sumrall Ministries offers a book, "60 Things God Said About Sex." In many TV shows, the characters move from partner to partner, making sex the be-all and end-all of the male-female relationship.

In many magazines, the advertised topics are centered on sex-good sex, better sex, more sex. The entertainment shows are focused on who's having sex with who. It's everwhere.

The only thing that seems to be a definite is that people are trying to find happiness through sexual relationships. God created sex for a specific purpose. The Bible candidly deals with sex.

Sumrall is forthright in presenting the biblical view of sex as a gift from God, its intended use, and the spiritual parallel of a husband and wife's sexual union as a symbol of the sacred consummation of Christ and his bride, the church.
