5.0 out of 5 stars WOMEN AND PRE-MARITAL SEX, September 25, 2001

By 

"cshell33" (Lancaster, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Single, Whole and Holy: Christian Women and Sexuality (Paperback)

Do you have trouble explaining to others why you want to be sexually pure, or why God wants you to be sexually pure? This book speaks frankly about pre-marital sex. It shows practical examples of a spectrum of women, from those in Bible times to the present time, dealing with different sexual situations. Not only that, this book also speaks about Satan's attacks on us, our areas of weakness (often including our minds as well as our bodies), and how the Lord provides us with love, encouragement, and armor to help us in our DAILY battles. "Single, Whole, & Holy" is a book written for ALL CHRISTIAN WOMEN: singles, "marrieds," virgins, "repentant sinners who vow to maintain secondary virginity," and victims of abuse.

Prior to reading this book, I often wondered how anyone can remain a virgin in this day and age. This book spoke to me not only about how to stay sexually pure, but also the reasons why God wants me to be sexually pure. I have a better understanding of myself, my weaknesses, and how I can rid myself of Satan's strongholds in my life. Most importantly to me, I have come to a better understanding of God's character, and the type of relationship that he offers to me and to all of his children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Worth Reading., January 31, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Single, Whole and Holy: Christian Women and Sexuality (Paperback)

If I could, I would give this book ten stars instead of five. This book really tells it like it is. Out in the world you hear society talk about "safe sex" and "sex outside of marriage is no big deal." But this book tells the real truth. It tells the blessings you will receive in your life and how God will reward you if you obey His rule about sex and stay sexually pure until you are married. I truly take my hat off to the authors of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A source of hope & strength for ALL single women..., October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Single, Whole and Holy: Christian Women and Sexuality (Paperback)

Single, Whole & Holy is a wonderful book that shows women whether they entered into a sexual relationship before marriage by their own choice, or if they were abused in a sexual way, they have hope. It offers real life examples of women who struggle to forgive themselves and those who have hurt them, and shows that forgiveness is possible through Christ!

This is an excellant choice for women who desire to renew their virginity and also those who struggle with staying pure.
