Wait for Me: Rediscovering the Joy of Purity in Romance [Paperback]

Rebecca St. James (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 3, 2008

A call to young people to remain sexually pure until marriage.

Everyone longs to be loved deeply by someone, and Rebecca St. James is no different, as demonstrated by her hit song "Wait for Me." In this revised and updated version of the 2002 release, Rebecca shares the same desires as other young people as her resolve to remain sexually pure until marriage is not 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.

The new editon of this bestseller includes: a fresh design (inside and out) with eye-catching graphics; a new introduction from Rebecca; journaling sections throughout the book; and a study guide for personal or group use.

This review is from: Wait for Me: Rediscovering the Joy of Purity in Romance (Paperback)

"Wait For Me" should be mandatory reading for teens and the parents of teens who are hoping to gain the advantage of moral prospective in an increasing sexually focused culture. With clear direction and frank talk, Rebecca St. James has earned the stripes to write this book. Through her own life experiences of role modeling faith and values through her music and personal life and her strong stand nationally as an abstinence advocate, hers is a voice worth listening to. "Wait For Me" explores honestly the real "rubber meets the road" issues teens face in every day life and in clear language answers "the hard questions" on sexual purity and how to live it out in every day culture. She faces head-on the hard to talk about issues. From dating to STDs, unplanned pregnancy, and the emotional scars of promiscuity to the brighter promise of waiting for the true intimacy of marriage--"Wait For Me" should be in the hands of every teen, youth group study, and parent who hopes to help direct their teens towards the right path in life.

Rebecca St. James is a brilliant musician, writer, and worship leader. She brings forth the very Godly ideals that each of us should follow when we are single no matter what our age. If your 14 - 16 and just starting to date. This book is perfect for you. if you are older and looking to date or get married this book is again just right for you no matter your age.
