No Innocent Affair by Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr. with Kelly Helen Mrkvicka takes a look at the plague of the 21st century and one of the main contributors to the destruction of the American family-the sin of Adultery.  Being a lay minister and a man who has studied the Word for many years, the author, Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr., gives not his opinion, but gives the absolute truth of God’s Word through an extensive categorical list of scripture therefore laying first a biblical foundation.  Then by clearly stating first God’s view and comparing it with Society’s view, the author lays bare the truth about adultery and the devastating consequences of adultery, not only to the person who commits the sin, but to others we love in our life who are the innocent victims of this pervasive ripple effect sin that is so prevalent in our society.   
 
Most do no realize the far-reaching consequences of the sin of adultery in their lives, nor the cost and the author makes no mistake that there is no such thing as ‘an innocent affair’.  This book is an eye opener for most and highly recommended for anyone either contemplating an adulterous affair or for those who may have been entangled in an adulterous affair.  The author shows the way out with some of most practical teachings culminated from the infallible Word of God to bring others out of their sin and into the light of the Lord. 
 
Openly, but lovingly, the author shares the unavoidable, yet dire consequences of adultery and reveals that not only does it affect our lives spiritually and physically, but the sin has a ripple effect that goes on to “… virtually every innocent person in our lives” (p.11). The consequences are so monumental, that no one in their right mind “armed” with the truth of God’s Word would commit adultery, but sadly, the author concedes from a recent survey, “…that over 88 percent of Americans believe adultery is wrong.  Yet 77 percent of marriages involve at least one adultery.”  This alarming fact in our society today is bringing many to the wide-path of destruction.  Quite simply put, it is choosing death over life.  
 
Edward Mrkvicka’s true desire is two-fold, first for all those that may be contemplating adultery to know the absolute truth of God’s Word and the dire consequences and for those that are in an adulterous affair or have been in the past that they would also realize the devastating consequences and that the truth would bring true repentance in their life.  Lastly, Mrkvicka’s desire is that all would receive eternal life in Jesus Christ.  Again, the author does not give his opinion, but God’s view and His Holy Word.  This book offers no excuses, nor apologies, but gives the truth of the Word of God.  This book is truly a blessing to the body of Christ and to all who read it. 
 
This subject is not an easy subject to be discussed, nor is it very popular, but with so many on the path to destruction in our society it is a must read for anyone entangled in or contemplating adultery.  This fascinating and well-written book exposes the truth and deception in the sin of adultery and brings forth light to the subject.  Thankfully, the author ends that there is hope and states, “God can save us” (p.11).  For there is one hope, and that one hope is the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ.  Come, read, know the truth and be set free.
 
Available at Amazon.com and most bookstores.

Highly Recommended
