Y'all Ain't Ready For Shellie!

Wow... What can I say? This book and the author, are REAL. It is so refreshing to read something from an author who has done so much inner work and processed life to such a refined degree that she already understands what the rest of us are trying to understand. This author has travelled through the valley of the shadow of life and the reader is the beneficiary of her travel notes. She has gone beyond the veil of all things sexual, stared truth in the face and refused to blink. Shelly R. Warren is the real deal, with a capitol R. But don't let the "R" rating fool you. Even though in her writing she is as up to date with contemporary culture as the latest BET/MTV video, she is also EXTRAORDINARIALLY grounded in the Word... a rare combination indeed.
The book maintains the attention of the reader. It is sprinkled with real life excerpts from bloggers and this serves to add more variety and spice to the presentation. The concept of "Sex in Purpose vs. Sex Out of Purpose" is simple, yet practical and profound. The author boldly goes where few Christian authors venture when she takes us on a tour of closet activities. The chapter on Porn in All forms is one of the best on the topic I have ever read in terms of unmasking the cause and effect of the beast. Her experpt from another writer entitled: My Vagina's Monologue is a must read! (Funny yet true.)
The first six chapters seem to deal with life's impurities, and the final four chapters seem to deal with the purification process. The book gets reflective on the "Letter to my former self." The final three chapters examine Godly femininity, perseverance and Purity. Since this book is an official XXX church resource, you should know not to expect an ultra conservative approach to the subject matter. This would be a good read for today's teens, high school and college students, singles and adults who want the real deal from someone who has been there and survived to give an eyewitness inner view.

You will laugh and cry but more importantly, you will discover and experience the power of God's love, forgiveness and healing in your own life!

One Bold Book

Format:Paperback
I have read a lot of great books on purity - but this was the first that didn't gloss over the hard stuff as if it's "not really a problem for women, like it is for men." Shellie writes with great boldness, honesty and truth. Her words are powerful and she speaks humbly from her own life experiences. I highly recommend this book.
