Reviews
Excellent!
5By BswDmajI found this book by doing a search online. I have read many books about singleness and sex, but this book really drives the points home. I feel so supported in my decision to live a pure life until I meet the right one for me. The connection between intimacy and sex has been broken for me due to my past actions, and Pastor Stanley helped me to understand the consequences associated with this and how to begin healing and steps to become a better me. I highly recommend this book to anyone, single or married. There are some core discussion topics in this book that I wish would have been shared with me many years ago.Not good
1By BoblowskilVery disappointingFrom once the most eligible bachelor
5By Travis QuinnAt one time, I thought I had everything going for me. A nice car, an high paying job, a beautiful home, and a great body. I was picking up women a lot of men would be jealous about. I knew something was missing. My original thought when I came across this book was, "This book is going to give me the edge to pick up better woman". So, I dug into this. Soon realizing, it was Gods way of saying, not to be the same person I was before. It's been about three months into the year challenge. It's been tough, but well worth it. I want to find the woman that is for me. I can't change my past, but definitely could rewrite my future. I'm not going to let my yesterday, effect my tomorrow.Awe
5By Ms staceI hope a year from now I can come back and rewrite a follow up review. I'm amazed by how profound such a short read could be. Andy has a gift. He took one of the hardest, shunned topics concerning love; sex, marriage and dating, laced it with truth and realness that if read with a heart and mind ready for change, will usher you into your best days. My prayer is that many others willing read this book, throw away their childish ways, and subscribe to the big life God has ordained for us all. Do yourself, your future, your children and grandchildren a favor and invest your money and time into this book. I'm looking forward to sowing it into someone else's life so that they too can be liberated! God bless you Andy and all readers of this book!
