“Winner speaks to the art of chastity beyond the "Well, it's written in the Bible," argument. Thank God--- something for people who think.”

“She's admitted from the top that she can't cover every possible "issue" that pops up for Christians when sex is mentioned. That's the best way to invite anyone in to read...: honesty.”

“I really like the book. I always appreciate when someone is frank about Biblical sexuality. I am excited when we look at sex the way the creator of sex intended for it to be enjoyed and experienced. Thank you for the resource!”

“A refreshing view of sex and the struggle for purity. I enjoyed the honesty and transparency with which Lauren writes. She calls the church to account for failing to acknowledge the reality and difficulties of a life of sexual purity. ”

Having come of age in the seventies, I loved the viewpoint. The Christian right has done its usual bad job of trying to convey an idea. This book helps make the argument a little better. I mean, please, relationships are a mess. Could it be at least partly because of casual attitudes toward sex? It is so devalued. ”

“Lauren Winner raises some excellent questions concerning chastity, and the expectations, implications, and practicalities of pursuing it in our Christian walk and encouraging and keeping those around us accountable in their walk. Thoughtful and straight forward. Her encouragement in seeking out community within the Body is, I feel, something to be desired.

That being said, she doesn't reach too many conclusions (though I'm not sure you can without making it a very lengthy book, and she herself admits that she's not trying to lay out concrete rules to live by). I think, paring this book along with Joshua Harris's "Sex is Not the Problem, Lust Is" would be a great reading for anyone who is struggling to be faithful to God. Both books, I think, well address the issue of sexual lust and temptation but very well could be applied to many other areas of sin. ”
