Hanging out with some girlfriends the other night in Barnes & Noble. We had decided to do a book club (which shall be kinda funny....I don't think any of us read much!). So we are browsing up and down the isles trying to find something we can all agree on and that would be interesting to talk about. We have looked through every isle...Classics, Mystery, Fiction, Romance, Christian Literature....and I believe by this time we have been there over an hour. Almost about to give up we head over to the Best Sellers for Teens. In the stacks of books we come across a book called "The Loose Girl - a memoir of promiscuity", a true story written for teen girls. Of course being women, we are all intrigued....... So it was decided, this would be a very interesting book to discuss and it looked like an easy read. I have no idea what this book will have to tell teens about Promiscuity, but I am curious. I am not recommending this book, because I have not read it yet. I do not believe it is from a christian perspective. I am actually thinking about venturing out to read this book and then afterwards do a study in the Bible on promiscuity and post my findings in this blog, blooming-grace. One thing I do feel is that a lot of women, christian women, struggle with promiscuity or sexual sin like an addiction.....longing for attention...to be wanted...and even for excitement.....and sex is where they find it. I also believe that God longs for them to have their delight and excitement in Him and that He has so much grace, purity, and forgiveness to clothe them in. I believe He wants their hearts to be set free from their bondage and overflowing with His life.
This book is supposed to be about how this girl, Kerry Cohen overcomes promiscuity on her own. I guess I'm curious to see how her heart comes out on the other end of it...especially if God is not involved. I'm very excited too, to see What God has to say about the things she is saying she has learned and is teaching teen girls. So let the journey begin! I will be getting back to you soon:)
