It is exciting to see more and more books by authors we know and have heard speak also become known in broader circles of Christian writing.

Sam Laing has been a favorite speaker and author on subjects of family and marriage for many years. He is also known for his messages on drawing close to God. His recent DPI book, Five Senses of Romantic Love: God's Plan for Exciting Sexual Intimacy in Marriage is being featured, reviewed and recommended by the following book houses and web sites:

CBN.com's Daily Life Producer, Belinda Elliott says of Laing's book; "His chapters on each of the five senses – taste, touch, sight, sound, and smell – offer biblically based ways that couples can enhance their relationships. Through his study of the Song of Solomon, Laing emphasizes to couples that God created sex, and it is okay for couples to find pleasure in making love."

The problem, the author reasons, is that the only teaching most people hear in church about sex is that it is unacceptable until marriage. Most people won’t hear the values of marital intimacy preached from the pulpit on Sunday mornings. But the Bible has much more to say about sex than people think.

"This book is an excellent resource to help couples rediscover God’s beautiful design for sex and begin a journey toward deeper levels of intimacy."

Tell us about your journey to publication.

I was asked by a publisher to write a chapter for a book on parenting. In a moment of faith and inspiration I called the publisher and asked if I could do the whole book. They agreed! I immediately looked in the mirror and said “what have you done, you idiot, you’ve never written a paper of twenty pages long!” I’ve never slowed down since.
