5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING June 15, 2008

By Erin Renee Lewis

Format:Paperback

I recently purchased this book and have enjoyed everything about it. I often find myself talking and thinking of things that I shouldn't, but often not knowing how to capture and stop those bad habits. Sarah Mally gives reason, examples, and Scripture of keeping yourself mentally and physical pure for the "Perfect ONE" God has for you. This book has helped to change my understanding of why it is so importantto choose God before anything and fill my whole heart with Him only. If you are a young girl struggling with feelings and thoughts you should purchase this book. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have a teen or pre-teen daughter, get this book! August 6, 2008

By Mama J

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

What I like about this book is that my pre-teen daughter can read this book without being defiled with information or examples that are not appropriate for her age or experience. I actually benefited from some of the advice because the principles are applicable all, e.g. trust, patience, etc. It is also great for opening communication with your daughter even if you don't come from the same background as the author.

Get it before your daughter is in trouble. I read a friend's copy and am ordering it for my daughter right away. [Update: Both of my daughters appreciated the book.]

Possible objections to the book? If you do not want a somewhat conservative Christian perspective, you might not like this book. If you don't like "swarmy" stories, you might not appreciate the fairy tale part of this book. This book is also probably not for you if you don't want your daughter thinking about the possibility of marriage in the future (but then you probably wouldn't be considering this book anyway).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Purchase Ever Made February 8, 2009

By K. Little

Format:Paperback

I was so grateful for this book. Both my 15 yo and I read it together and discussed each chapter. We have even referred back to it from time to time to discuss situations she runs into currently to see how they should be handled or to refresh her determination to do it God's way. A standing ovation. Supreme! Sarah, let's have another!
