User Review -

This book is so important. It’s rare, real, and relatable. It Keeps it 100 through the entire book, where he explains wheee we are and still incorporates Christ in a way, that I have never seen before. I was born and raised in the church and I believe where the Church is crippling the youth and or congregation by not being transparent. Im currently in the engagement stage and after reading Chapter 6 we both rededicated our lives and bodies back to Christ until marriage. This has throughly transformed and renewed our minds as it relates to sex and also relationship with Christ. 1000000 stars if I could. Pastor Mike Todd keep being a blessing to us, we hear you and we’re thankful for your word! God Bless.
