"Gen SeXZY" by Jeff Grenell Book Tour and GiveAway

About the Book

Book:  Gen SeXZY

Author: Jeff Grenell

Genre: RELIGION / Christian Ministry/Youth

Release date:January 19, 2021

“Corrupt the young. Get them away from religion. Encourage their interest in sex.…”—Vladimir Lenin, 1921, How to Destroy the West

Going through each of the prophetic statements made by Lenin in 1921 shows why America is where it is today. Only 4 percent of Gen Z think about life through a biblical lens. To them, sexuality is more important than friends, family, or their faith.

Jeff Grenell’s goal in Gen SeXYZ: Love, Sexuality & Youthis to reach youth, youth leaders, and the church with a message that kicks the devil to the curb and restores sexuality to its God-given origins.

When the church failed to respond to the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the present one of the 21st century, its role in society crumbled. The media stopped censoring, the government redefined marriage, schools taught progressive sex education, and the list of genders grew. We’ve experienced generational loss because we’ve gotten further away from the source of our original knowledge of sexuality: the Bible.

Jeff points out that our understanding of sexuality must be anchored to the fact that God is love and the devil stole sex. He provides direct quotations from teenagers and leaders, practical knowledge, and tools to launch a spiritual revolution of love and truth that will grow the church to reach younger generations and combat the loveless, godless sexuality ethic in our culture that’s misleading them.

Gen SeXZY" by Jeff Grenell covers the topics of the sexual revolution, bullying, breakdown of the family, humanitarian causes, and human trafficking and other issues. The author was  a youth pastor for four decades  so he knows what he is taking about.  

I think this book would a great resource for pastors and youth leaders, and parents and grandparents.  It has a lot of information and gives Scriptural references. I would recommend this book for every home  and church but I would also say to get the full impact from this book, a reader should plan to really read it slowly and study the Scriptures given and not just read it straight through as I do so I could write this review. 

I was shocked at the different areas there are that describe sexual genres.

The author states the Bible is clearly the source we need to follow. 

I love this statement form the book "Whatever our differences, just because someone believes differently than we do, what right does that gives us to treat them with partiality or judgement? 

Here is another one that I liked and ok, I have to admit that I laughed  aloud but then I though, "Wow. he is right " Then boy gets aggressive on a date. But girl places her Bible on the front seat next to her. 
Boy decides he will not cross over Matthew. Mark, Luke and John to get to her. " 

Again, this is another book that I wouldn't have chosen to read if I wasn't a part of Celebrate Lit team. But I am glad I read the book.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Jeff

Corrupt the young. Check. Gen Z has a 4 percent biblical worldview. Get them away from religion. Check. Only 25 percent of Gen Z sees attending church as “very important.” Encourage their interest in sex. Check. Cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues like honesty, sobriety, and self-restraint. Check.

We could go on through each of these prophetic statements from Lenin in 1921 and see why America is where it is today.

XYZ

Just look at the title of the book. This project is a compilation of the sexuality handoff from Generation X (the adult parents of young people today), to Generation Y (the Millennials), and finally to Generation Z (teenagers and early twenty-somethings). We can learn a lot from this generational handoff—mostly that it has failed to pass the Christian faith along to the following generation.

The narrative throughout this book is a clear picture of how we have gotten here as a nation: by abandoning God as the center of our lives in the past few generations. And while we will do some commentary about Generation X and their influence upon our society, most of this study is about the Generation Y/Millennial and the Generation Z young people in America.

  2. I'm a parent who needs this book! It's such a relevant topic for today. I feel like I would need to read it first to make sure I agree with the ideas presented. There are a lot of youth pastors who make statements about this topic without really seeking the Bible's truth.
