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.

The Bare Naked Truth: Dating, Waiting, and God’s Purity Plan by Bekah Hamrick Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex is something that teenagers (and others) face on a regular basis in this society. Everywhere we turn, we are inundated with messages that tell us that sex before and/or outside of marriage is perfectly acceptable and even healthy. It’s hard for young people especially to remain pure before marriage, and they may have even bought into the idea that everyone’s doing it, so why shouldn’t they?

In this well-written, honest, and sometimes humorous book, Bekah Martin has provided young people with a reason to remain pure before marriage. She does not mince words nor dance around the issue–which is very refreshing in a Christian book. She uses the Bible as well as statistics and real stories to illustrate her various points.

I have no qualms concerning this book. I would love for my daughter to read it in a few years. I can easily recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone with teens, young people, or just a single (like me) trying to remain pure. I wish I had known some of these things a few years ago. It could have kept me out of trouble in some areas.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. I was no financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
