1: A great book for any women at any age
A good book for fathers, mothers and daughters. Many people say that it is geared towards the mothers and the daughters, but fathers should read the book as well as they play a huge role in their daughters lives. Jessica V. Psalidas - Author Everlasting Purity

2: A dangerous book.
This book disgusts me and carries on the harmful tradition of teaching children that abstinence is the only option.
Dannah, and people like her, are contributing to the rise of STDs and teenage pregnancies in this nation by urging abstinence at all costs.
Here's a hint, ma'am; kids are going to have sex. It is the strongest biological drive that exists. You can either teach them how to have safe sex that minimizes the chance of pregnancy or STDs, or you can keep them ignorant. It'll be your own fault when she ends up with a kid at 15.

3: The bride's white gown was reserved only to the truly pure
Traditionally, the bride's white gown was reserved only to the truly pure - those who were not were supposed to wear a gown of another color. In a brand new "Celebration Edition", Dannah Gresh continues to touch the lives of hundred of thousand of young women in "And The Bride Wore White: Seven Secrets to Sexual Purity"". Written in a warm yet revealing style, Gresh talks about her own horrible experiences dealing with sinful relationships, challenges and other temptations. Giving God's advice, any Christian woman would do well to pick up "And The Bride Wore White" and it would be good addition to community library sexuality shelves.

4: Doesn't matter if you're 13 or 30 -- this book has something to say to YOU!
I first read this book on sexual purity as an eighth-grader. When I decided to reread it for a college class, I discovered its insights are equally valuable (if not more so!) to a twenty-year-old college student. As Dannah Gresh illustrates seven truths about sexual purity, she also shares personal stories - some celebratory, others shameful - which every adolescent female can relate to, whether she's been in a relationship or not. Gresh covers a lot in under 200 pages: she urges girls to seek healing in a close relationship with God, offers clothing advice, and explores the more-than-skin-deep definition of purity. Although Gresh's target audience appears to be teen girls, I think women in their twenties could benefit from it as well. The text is easy-to-read (always important when an author tackles such difficult subjects) and the message very moving. There are a lot of purity/love/dating books floating around, but this is my all-time favorite because of its practicality, straightforwardness, and thorough treatment of the subject matter.

5: This is a MUST READ
I truly admire Dannah Gresh for being Spirit led to write this book. When I first ordered this book, I did not read it right away, but when I did it was right on time. Because of the title I assumed that it was all about not having sex, and because that was not an area I struggled with I thought it would not apply to me. But this book is so powerful, and gave me so much hope of the Lord bringing me a husband one day. There were many times that I cried just reading different passages. I like that it is no just a typical black and white paperback book, but there are many colors, images, and different images from women all around the world! I even love the fact that she shares her personal love story. I reccommend this book for any woman single, divorced, widowed, whatever. This will truly bless you and get your focus back on the Lord where it should be.
