Book Description

Extreme for Jesus July 2, 2002

"Darling, did you know that I dream about you . . ."

Everyone longs to be loved deeply by someone, and Rebecca St. James is no different, as demonstrated by her hit song "Wait for Me." But while Rebecca shares the same desires as other young people, her resolve to remain sexually pure until marriage is not as common in our society.

Using Scripture, pop culture, and her own experience as a point of reference, Rebecca paints a relevant and appealing picture of the value of waiting. But Rebecca also reaches out with compassion to those who have already made mistakes and reveals the mercy and healing that God brings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Waiting Too, August 23, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Wait For Me: Rediscovering the Joy of Purity in Romance (Hardcover)
This is a great encouragement to "Generation X". Ms. St. James sets a great example by giving practical applications on maintaing purity in an if-it-feels-good-do-it society. God's standards have not changed, and this book uses His Word to combat the pressures of my generation not to wait for your future spouse, physically, emotionally and most of all spiritually. Yet is sensitive to those who have lost their purity by revealing God's forgiveness in a very personal way.

I give it 10 STARS!

Sincerely,
"Waiting Too"

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book of 2002 that deals with sex and moral behavior, August 3, 2002
This review is from: Wait For Me: Rediscovering the Joy of Purity in Romance (Hardcover)
When I picked up Wait for Me at a local book store, I never thought it would impact my life in such a settle way. If you are a teen who wants answers to questions regarding sex, this the book for you. If you are someone who has been abused, used by the opposit sex, hurt by current or past relationships - Wait for Me is a great guide line for you. Rebecca St. James (the Author) doesn't claim to have all the answers, but she does have a very balanced stance on sex in modern soceity and also helps you to relize that whatever your position may be, there is an answer. Great book for anyone, any age.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book without being preachy..., August 30, 2003
By 
This review is from: Wait For Me: Rediscovering the Joy of Purity in Romance (Hardcover)
In this book, Rebecca St. James talks about sexual purity in a world where sex before marriage is almost normal.

Yes, it is possible to wait, she says, through God's Word, her experiences, and the experiences of others.

She doesn't just say it either. She also writes practical stuff for people who want to take waiting seriously.

But she doesn't leave out people who may not technically be virgins in this book. There is always forgiveness, and people can always start anew, because --- let's face it --- people are really good at making mistakes.

All in all, an interesting book written simply that was not boring in any way.
