Description:
How far can I go? It's the question of a generation wanting straight answers. Often the very questions we ask reveal our hearts better than anything else. In Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry, Lisa Bevere tackles these tough issues by moving us from rules to relationship. There is no question we need a renewal of purity, but what we're doing is not working.
How far can you go? Ask yourself: What do you ultimately want? Immediate and temporary gratification that wanes with the passage of time? Or passion and exclusive intimacy that endures and intensifies?
God wants to move us beyond the restraint of the law (which arouses sin) and plant us into a garden of longing -- where our sexuality and passion is carefully guarded and cultivated until the time for its awakening. This is a book for every daughter in waiting and every woman who has never known desire in her life and marriage.
Details: As far as I am concerned our socialized culture has failed in trying to convince me that purity and faithfulness are a thing of the past. I no longer listen to cultural icons whose lives only reflect faithlessness and momentary gratification.I hear a much louder voice, the voice of individuals like Lisa Bevere who speak of truth that is unchanging. Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry is packed full of tools that will help us be the strongest women this world has ever encountered.
Also,I am touched by Lisa's vunerability in this book. She is so willing to talk about her past choices in order that others who come after her will not have to walk down that same painful road. And it is helping to reverse the lies that have taken such a destructive toll on my generation.
Review Summary: Excellent!

Details: This book answers so many questions that generations of woman have secretly asked themselves. How far is too far, can my purity be restored, and what exactly is modesty? Lisa does an excellent job at presenting the word of God in answering these questions. What a blessing to the body of Christ!

Details: Lisa Bevere's book Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry brought so much restoration in my life! Growing up, I was never taught the truths in this book and I made some mistakes and this book brought me to a place of restoration. It gave me a HEALTHY, God-inspired perspective on love, purity, romance and sex. I believe every young girl needs to read this book before they are forced to make huge life decisions as well as every woman who made mistakes so true purity can be restored. This book brought tons of healing in my life and gave me a new appreciation for the needs and desires of both men and women.

Details: Reading this book, my life changed. No longer was a list of rules being shoved in my face, but a mother's voice was soothing that which has been awakened back to sleep. Tears streaked my face as healing was brought to my very core. I recommend this for any young girl... or even mothers who are seeking healing from things in their past. Are you having trouble answering questions for your pre-teens? Answers will be found in the pages of this book. As you read, be ready and prepared for... a genuine, life-changing encounter with your Prince.
Review Summary: Purity based on a Love relationship with Jesus
Date: 2006-03-04
Details: I tell you, you can't go wrong with the Beveres! Both John and Lisa have evidence of the biblical ministry of Jesus Christ in their work. It is evident from the clear-cut Bible principles that Lisa uses in this book that her heart is for Jesus and His people. The main premise of this book is teaching women to establish a real love relationship with Jesus and to base their goal of purity on the intimacy they have with Jesus. Basically, stay pure because you are in love with Jesus and this is what He both warns and commands us to do. If you wholeheartedly receive Jesus' word on purity, you will have no problem with the message He gives through Lisa in this book
