Rick Stedman suggest a revolutionary, but biblical, approach to the struggle of living as a sexual being who is single. It opens the door to a powerful new motive for staying (or becoming) celibate beyond merely saying, "God says no.

Disappointing,
By
This review is from: Pure Joy!: The Positive Side of Single Sexuality (Paperback)
I wouldn't recommend this book because it contains some counsel that is not biblical. Stedman says that masturbation is a tool to keep sexual desires in check and fantasizing about women is OK if it's not a particular woman. (i.e. If you cut all the heads off of the pictures in the victoria secret catalogue, it would be OK to peruse for sexual pleasure). All in all, he's trying to provide help, but humanistic approaches to purity make his book a complete disappointment.

A wonderful guide on intimacy for singles and parents!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pure Joy!: The Positive Side of Single Sexuality (Paperback)
This books discusses the stages of relationships and emotional intimacy and why abstinence makes sense. I read this book to see if I it could help with parenting my child in the area of relationships and intimacy. This book gives sound and positive reasons to remain joyfully abstinent. I highly recommend it to others and I will to use it as a guide in relationship discussions with my child.

Pure Joy? Yeah Right!,
This review is from: Pure Joy!: The Positive Side of Single Sexuality (Paperback)
I wouldn't recommend this book. Written by a now-married man, it doesn't really speak to singles who will be single well belong his marrying age of 30 - and possibly for life.
I'd rather recommend the works of Julia Duin on singleness and abstinence... As a woman who remained unmarried and a virgin and is now her fifties, she is better equipped to speak with integrity and sincerity about how HARD abstinence really is. No sugar-coating needed, we're grownups now! Julia's take on this book: "Believe me: The only positive side to single sexuality is not getting AIDS. The only singles I know who consider their state to be "pure joy" are those who have been through a divorce."
