FOOL :The Bible’s Word for the Man Who Sleeps With Another Man’s Wife

About This Book

The Bible has a word for the man who sleeps with another man’s wife. It is not a complicated word. It does not require theological training to understand. It is a plain word, used plainly, multiple times, by the wisest man who ever lived. The word is FOOL. FOOL is not a comfortable book. It was not written to be. It was written for one person: the man who is doing it. The man who is thinking about it. The man who has convinced himself that what he is doing is not what it actually is. Using the Book of Proverbs as its surgical instrument and every relevant voice of Scripture as its witness, FOOL enters the mind of the man who sleeps with another man’s wife and refuses to leave until the full portrait has been painted. His justifications. His compartments. His spiritual numbness. His slow, invisible destruction. The man he is becoming while believing he is still the man he was. This book examines the Ten Commandments on adultery, the full surgical depth of Proverbs 5, 6, and 7, the neighbour Jesus was talking about in Matthew 5, the covenantal weight of Malachi 2, the man David became and the sword that never departed from his house, the difference between worldly grief and godly grief, and the specific, costly exit that genuine repentance requires. It includes a chapter addressed directly to the woman who allowed herself to be the instrument of another woman’s violation. It includes a word for the man who has not yet crossed the final line but who is already on the street. And it ends with the full vision of the man that God designed before desire hijacked the building process. FOOL is not interested in your comfort. It is interested in your life. Pick it up only if you are ready to be seen.
