5.0 out of 5 stars Solid message, interesting twist, relates to the common teen, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Love Killer (Paperback)

I really loved this book. Not only does it deliver a solid message, but it shows how the forces and heaven and hell are in constant battle, and earth is the field. Plus it features a great LD debate (I'm a debater). And I also like the chapter summeries where you can get the author's feelings and statistics. Overall- I would recommend this to any teen!

4.0 out of 5 stars Accurate Depiction of Teen Struggles, February 22, 2008

This review is from: The Love Killer: Answering Why True Love Waits (Paperback)

This was a great depiction of what it is like to be a teen and dealing with the desires for romantic relationships. I thought the flow was great and accurately depicted typical scenarios. However, I would like to see more propaganda for teens to not only abstain from sex but from the heavy kissing and petting that only deepens the threat of temptation to have sex. It saddens me the examples set for young people that heavy kissing which almost always involves petting is just part of dating. Where is the message of saving every part of your body? Overall this was a great book to interest a young person. I am a parent of a pre-teen and she will be reading this book as part of educating her on the dangers of stepping out of God's Plan for her and her body. Thanks Josh for being so active in this way.
