Kissed
the Girls and Made Them Cry by Lisa
Bevere. tackles these tough issues by moving us from rules to
relationship. There is no question we need a renewal of purity,
but what we're doing is not working. How far can you go? Ask yourself:
What do you ultimately want? Immediate and temporary gratification
that wanes with the passage of time? Or passion and exclusive
intimacy that endures and intensifies? God wants to move us beyond
the restraint of the law (which arouses sin) and plant us into
a garden of longing -- where our sexuality and passion is carefully
guarded and cultivated until the time for its awakening. This
is a book for every daughter in waiting and every woman who has
never known desire in her life and marriage.
