The Truth About Sex and Waiting... Uncovered Purity.

Sex. Boys. Waiting. There's something about those words that makes everything complex in a heartbeat, and raises more questions than answers. Is there something wrong with me if I don't kiss a boy after a date? Or am I doomed if I DID? What if waiting is just a one-way trip to life as a crazy cat woman? And what if I tend to, um, think about a certain boy in a certain way? It seems that the lady at church and your friends have two very different opinions on the subject. And 'Your Budding Womanhood: Staying a Beautiful Flower for Jesus' just isn't cutting it. Bekah Hamrick Martin knows the waiting game isn't easy or straight-forward. In The Bare Naked Truth, she lays everything on the table---including some embarrassing moments---as she explores the honest, naked truth behind what God means by purity. With additional entries from popular authors, you'll see the bare naked approach to waiting isn't always easy, but it's worth the risk.

My Take:

Ahhh.. the teen years! Confusion, peer pressure, and hormones. Sounds like fun times.. NOT! Having daughters myself, I really absorbed this insightful and yes, humorous read. Being a Christian doesn't make you perfect. Instead, we strive for perfection within the boundaries and our own morals possible. Waiting for marriage isn't easy for anyone. However, with the help of God we can overcome relationship temptations.

This read is to-the-point on many different relationship scenarios and at the end of each chapter there is a quiz relevant to the topic discussed to help set your own boundaries and journal your thoughts.

Well written and a great incentive to save yourself for the "right" guy.


About the Author..

Bekah Hamrick Martin was born in Savannah, Georgia, in an event which her brother keeps reminding her was completely unnecessary. She spent the better part of her high school years vacationing on the north end of her mattress due to an illness, where she developed a deep taste for chocolate and sarcasm. Today Bekah shares with teens about tough times, healing, and surviving their high school years---no matter where they spend them.
