"Wow...This book blew me away. It is a great book for any girls (or curious guys) in the teens to early twenties. This book is an in-depth look at dating, the steps from friendship to dating, perversions of God's will for our sexuality, and how to guard ourselves spiritually, mentally, and bodily. A MUST-READ for any young Christian woman."
— Aprile (5 out of 5 stars)
“Like a steady IV drip, today’s teenage girls get a message of confused and cheapened sexuality. They are desperate for reasons to guard and preserve themselves. Shannon Ethridge gives girls reasons in this relevant and readable book. Every young woman and every young woman’s mother needs to read this book!”
— Sharon Hersh, author of “Mom, I Feel Fat!”“A must-read for every teenage girl! Honest and informative, this book is not only highly readable with its true-to-life illustrations, but it’s packed with answers for every sexual situation today’s teens encounter. What a great antidote for the twisted sexual messages our pop-culture continues to dish out. Way to go, Shannon!”
— Melody Carlson, author of the Diary of a Teenage Girl series“Shannon writes with a direct, forthright style, yet she remains tactful and kind as she presents her balanced, godly teaching on dating and relationships. Without question, this is a must-read for any young woman who longs to remain pure in her relationship with God, and I suspect this book will very quickly become a staple of small-group studies.”
— Fred Stoeker, coauthor of Every Young Man’s Battle" This is the most awesome book for mothers and young women. Purity is not some theoretical thing to pledge or know it's right. It's a practical, based in scripture, healthy, spiritual pursuit. This life choice takes perserverance and knowledge. "
