Sex and the Single Christian girl.

"True love wait's" --but what exactly are you waiting for? After all, we're constantly bombarded with Hollywood's idea of romance -- that sex is no big deal, that everyone is doing it, that it's the only path to a happy ending. Maybe you've even begun to wonder, what am I missing? Is it worth the wait? 
Marian Jordan Ellis has been there. 
She knows the pitfalls of giving into temptation -- but also the blessing of God's best found in waiting after she committed herself to Christ and sexual purity. Now from one Christian women to another, she hopes to spare you from the heartache of sexual sin and instead point you towards God's best.
Marian offers lots of practical advise, backed by biblical truth, to equip you with the tools to overcome past mistakes and future temptations. 

Marian Jordan Ellis' new book, Sex and the Single Christian girl, is an inspiring  book that every single Christian girl should read! 
Marian's writing is captivating, easy to follow, and very relatable, weather your a 13 year old girl or a 30 year old women. She discusses how purity is not about following a rule - it is about something bigger than us. 
What most impressed me about this book was that it wasn't the typical book that talked about dating or courtship and all the things you should and shouldn't do. It is a book that focuses on finding the truth in the only firm foundation of Jesus Christ, and avoiding the pitfalls that detour us especially in today's culture. 
I liked how Marian started out the book, it cought my attention right away and kept it for most of the book. Another thing that stuck out to me was the quotes Marian refered to throughout the book. 
I was impressed with this book, and would happily recommend to other single  young women.
