It was Satan's first trick in the beginning; make the woman believe that something evil is very good. Continue to deceive her. Now millions of women are reading this book and and others like it, then planning on seeing the movie that the experts think is great for marriage and will help women experience a fabulous sex life. The Great Deceiver is at it again. You can NEVER expect good things to happen by seeking evil.
Dr. Oz had a show dedicated to this book. All the women in the audience have read it and said how it changed their lives. Their husbands are very happy. No, I haven't read the book. It is considered pornography in my mind. I won't read books like that. Now, they have made a movie about it, which should be rated X.
I have a problem seeing how women reading about someone else's sexual exploits and being turned on by it is any different than men watching pornography and being turned on by it. All these women say their sex lives are amazing now. I would like to interview them in a month and see if they say the same thing. Little do they know that this book and movie may lead to the ultimate destruction of their marriage.
Pornography is evil whether looking at it on the Internet or words written in a book. We are admonished to set our mind on these things ~
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Philippians 4:8
Whatever you watch or read should be first found to be true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and virtue. If it doesn't measure up to these standards, FLEE. The Bible admonishes us to FLEE from sexual immorality, not be entertained by it {I Corinthians 6:18}. Having several nights of passionate sex isn't worth it. In the end, it is all a delusion and will hurt your marriage.
Don't read this book. It is not pleasing to the Lord and it will end up hurting you. This is Satan's plan. God wants you to have peace and joy. Satan's plan is to take away your peace and joy and destroy marriages. Read Holy Sex instead about God's design for a beautiful sex life with your husband.
Seek the Creator of sex. His design was for us to enjoy sex in a marital relationship. Pursue holiness and I bet your sexual relationship will improve as you humbly love and serve your husband God's way without the help of an evil book or movie.

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,
or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,
because these are improper for God's holy people.
Ephesians 5:3
P.S. If you don't know what book I am referring to in this post,
good...forget about it.

This relationship, when first built on Christ, is nothing to be ashamed of, and everything to celebrate between husband and wife.
PS, I also don't know anything about the book...but, I'm usually the one who doesn't like all the popular books other women do..so it works well, LOL!

Pray for you to open these women's eyes and hearts and to show them your love, your mercy, your grace. Open their eyes Lord, help them choose you and not Dr. Oz or Oprah. I pray they find you. Amen.

1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
Since none of the commenters here read it, allow me to share that from my skimming, I was able to deduce that:
It was badly written, grammar-wise.
Content-wise, it was really directed towards arousing the sexual desires of any woman who happened to read it. (I am fairly low-libido but reading a few pages made me feel flushed!)
It also hi-jacked the beautiful words of God.
1) Christian -- This Christian Grey is anything BUT Christian: Worldly, overly ambitious, perverted and sick.
2) Submissiveness -- The type of submissiveness mentioned in the book is nothing like the biblical submissiveness Christ wants of us wives/women. It's all about being dominated on the bed in Christian's "Red Room of Pain."
It is astounding how so many get a rise out of this trashy book which has sequels and a movie!
The world really does love its own.
I John 4:5
"They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them."
Here's an excerpt from my diary written Sept 4, 2013, a few days before my conviction and spiritual conversion:
September 4, 2013
"Christian Grey. Fifty Shades of Grey. A piece of filthy trash.
It’s a book on masochism, sadism, kinky sex, dominance and submission…
Funny how I am actually reading a book on being a submissive wife, and this book comes along. Truly not submissive in the Christian sense of the word. Submissive as in, the man is the Dominant, the woman is the submissive.... I fear for the youth of today who will read this book. It will create a whole new era of sexually perverted, immoral people." :(
Please. If any Christian wife is reading this blog post, please do not touch that book with a ten-foot-pole! It's bad news. :(
A true Christian will NOT read this kind of "Christian". It's Anti-Christian. No gray areas about that. It's CLEARLY the work of the devil.
In Christ,
Nikka
