On becoming a soul virgin

Each of us, regardless of our sexual histories, has compromised his or her soul virginity to some extent in this fallen and sin-diseased world. While physical virginity is something you can lose, soul virginity is something you can grow by becoming. But without God at the center of your life, none of this will even make sense. Unless you recognize God’s claim on your life—especially your sexual life—you will find no compelling reason to buy into or even consider the concepts of this book.
