MAN OF OPTIONS
Escaping The Monogamy-Only Lie & Reclaiming Biblical Masculinity By Rob Kowalski
Length8h 26m
About this audiobook
For generations, the Church has taught that one man, one woman, for life is God's only design for marriage. Rob Kowalski believed it too. He lived it for nearly two decades — celibate, obedient, and increasingly confused about why faithful men were failing and faithful women were aging out alone.
Then he opened his Bible and actually looked.
Man of Options makes the case, from Genesis to Revelation, that the monogamy-only doctrine was never in Scripture. It was imported from Rome, baptized by Augustine, and enforced by tradition. And the damage it has done to men, women, families, and the Church is measurable, generational, and entirely preventable.
This is the book Rob wishes someone had handed him 25 years ago.
