Of all the things I’ve had published, this is quite possibly the most difficult one for me to promote for two reasons. 1. In it I shared a part of my private world, and that is more than a little uncomfortable. 2. My take on the subject matter is absolutely counter-cultural. I have no doubt that God’s plan for sex is the best, but I also have no doubt that some people who read this will think, “Wow, she’s a prude, isn’t she?” But I choose to wear that label with pride.
