The Awesome

This book spoke to my soul; it was immature, crude, ridiculous, funny, and just damn good. You have have to have a dark irreverent sense of humor to enjoy it (I would assume it might enrage conservative christians for instance), but it might appeal to other audiences as well. It was darkly comedic and open about sexual experiences and was kind of reminiscent of Andrew Smith's "Grasshopper Jungle." The story follows a seventeen year old monster hunter who is apprenticing under her mother. While other kids are out shopping at the mall and listening to the latest pop songs, Maggie is out performing exorcisms, chasing werewolves, and kicking ass. She wants to get promoted but she is unable to do so until she loses her virginity. Vampires can't resist an innocent virgin and will frenzy when they scent pure blood. So until Maggie pops her cherry she can't hunt vampires and be a full fledged monster killer like her mother. What's a girl to do? Seriously, a must read. Sooo freiggin funny.

Sacred Sex

A small guide aimed at describing what it means to be a 21st century, sexually pure, Christian. Author Tony Evans, breaks this small work into three sections: Sex as God intended it, the value of sexual purity, and keeping sex sacred. In short, keep it in your pants and out of your mind. Ignore Hollywood and the loose immoral ideas of our society. Stay pure or you will suffer scarring emotional damage that can be forgiven, but never fixed (that especially means you women, with all your crazy emotional baggage!). This tiny guide (under 80 pages) is intended for single men and women as well married couples.  As for parents, just give this book to your kids when they turn 12 and you'll never have to give "the talk." It's a win, win for everyone! That is unless you're not a virgin... then you're in big, big trouble (God is watching you, even when you masturbate. Might want to rethink that vibrator, and don't say I didn't try to warn you, this is only your soul we're talking about).

I received this book for free from Moody Publishing in return for my honest, unbiased opinion.
