Product Description: Guys Aren’t the Only Ones Fighting a Battle for Purity.
The world you live in promotes sex as the answer to just about everything. The pressure to go along with the crowd is greater than ever before, and it’s easy to compromise in little ways that are a lot more harmful than they seem. You and your friends may become caught up in destructive relationships or sexual activities without even knowing how you got there. You just want to be normal–to fit in, to be liked, to look attractive to the opposite sex. But are you paying too high a price? This counterpart to the award-winning Every Young Man’s Battle can help you:
· learn how the sexual battle begins in your heart and mind · understand your hunger for attention from guys · recognize and avoid the potential pitfalls awaiting young women on the journey toward adulthood and possibly marriage · find out how the media, novels, fashion, internet chat rooms, and body and beauty obsessions influence your sexual choices–and what you can do about it · guard your mind, heart, and body against sexual and emotional compromise · develop a deeper, more satisfying level of intimacy with God
Whether you have so far protected yourself emotionally and sexually, feel that you’ve been robbed of your purity, or have given in to temptation in some way, this book can help you achieve or reclaim sexual integrity. It can also guide you through the temptations and pressures of young adulthood while demonstrating how you can live your life to the fullest–without regrets.
Ok, but not the best.. this wasn't the best book ever.. but it was very much worth while. WARNING TO ALL: this is NOT a book about peer pressure or friends.. this is about guys, girls, and sex. Although it would be soooo helpful to teenage girls if they seemed to boy crazy, looking for the wrong type of boys, or were the target of some particular guy already, this book is not the best! *sigh* It was a very good read though. And it did teach me more! I actually couldn't put it down! Although could've been better, it is a very good book to read.
Awesome book! My mom bought this book for me, and its one of the best books I have ever read! This is a truely awesome book full of information. This is a must read for every teenage girl!!
totally out of touch I found myself checking the copywrite date on the book because it seemed to have been written long, long ago. The pop culture references are from days past. I noticed this book got a lot of positive reviews from older women and that makes a lot of sense to me.
I will say that this book is NOT inappropriate for any young lady over the age of 12. there is nothing described in the book that a girl over the age of 12 hasn't already been exposed to. Believe me Moms, as much as you might not want to believe it, your daughter does know.
Good for younger readers, relevant for all ages After having some struggles of my own, I picked up this book at the library and tore through it on a 10-hour drive to PA. I found it well-written and honest. I loved how nearly every possible sexual temptation had a chapter of its own, and was pretty relieved when only one or two of the chapters really applied to me. The big negative of this book was the silly definitions at the bottom of the pages. I'm 21 years old, just one year older than the suggested range of 20-14, and I knew every single definition, from compartmentalization to clitoris. I suppose these must be very helpful for the younger readers though, and offer some honest definitions of a bunch of body parts. Anyway, I still really enjoyed the book, and I would recommend it to anyone going through any kind of battle with purity. Although the definitions get a bit annoying, it's still a very relevant book for anyone.
Solid, Practical, Biblical Guideline The authors speak bluntly (specific sexual behaviors and STDs are discussed) yet lovingly and biblically about how to maintain sexual integrity. My favorite chapters were the ones on how to spot Mr. Right and falling in love with Jesus. Both these chapters really got to the heart of the matter on what to do once you learn and acknowledge sex belongs within the boundaries of marriage. Also, I really enjoyed the inclusion of personal lessons each author had learned from their lives. I have already loaned my book to my cousin; and, let my mother read it too. Also, I recommended it to my whole family and my co-workers. I was only disappointed in the fact that I believed this book would be geared toward 20-somethings. But I think it was more focused on teens. Still, I was able to glean solid, practical, biblical guidelines from its pages. For readers who are looking for this same kind of book directed to 20-somethings or older, please see "Every Woman's Battle" written by the same authors.
