The Thrill of the Chaste by Dawn Eden
I'm preparing for a message in our Proverbs series which I'm entitling "Wise Sex." I am obviously going to espouse the biblical perspective, but I will be speaking to them as a married, male husband. We have a growing number of singles in our congregation, and I can speak from experience as a single guy, but obviously quite unprepared in one sense since I've never been a single woman.

Thanks so much for the very kind plug! A couple of people are threatening to invite me to give talks in Canada. If it comes to pass and you'd like me to talk in your church while I'm north of the border, please drop me a line through the contact form on thrillofthechaste.com . Wishing you a blessed Easter.
Thanks Dawn!
It's a real honour to have you stop by, just as it is an honour to have you share God's mercy in your transformation in your book. Your transparency coupled with God's grace will undoubtedly lead people out of the lostness you described and into his pure light.
Blessed Good Friday to you!
