Sex180: The Next Revolution Review

Sex180: The Next Revolution
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We had a conference at our Church that was based partly on this book, I was very impressed with the conference and so was my 15-year old son. So much so, that the minute we got home I ordered the book, not only for my son but for my teenage niece and nephew.
My sister said that she couldn't get my niece and nephew to read anything, that I had just wasted my money. Boy, was she surprised! Not only did they read it, they couldn't put it down! Neither could my son.
Now, I have to admit that I have not read the book, I have just flipped through it. But, I know that the book has made a difference in the way the kids think about pre-marital sex and waiting. They more clearly see the positive things that come from waiting, and aren't so worried about peer pressure. I wish I had had this book when I was a teenager!
Every adolescent should read this book, it is very direct and talks about almost every aspect of sexuality that is out there, every day, in front of our children. They are surrounded by sex, it's in movies, music, television, radio, school and church, isn't it time they see it from a different perspective, not one swayed by ratings and childish notions.
BUY THIS BOOK AND HAVE EVERY TEENAGER IN YOUR LIFE READ IT!

Young adults are fed up with our sex-saturated culture. They realize that there's more to sex than what the media feeds them, and they realize that there's more to responsibility that "just wait until you're married." Youth want to have God's perspective. Not only that, they want to show their peers there's a better way to relate to the opposite sex. It's time for a revolution. A 180-degree turn is underway.Sex 180 is a guide to that revolution. It's more than a book that preaches abstinence before marriage. Sex 180 shows teens what's wrong with the way people talk and think about sex and challenges them to think differently. With solid biblical teaching, interactive sidebars, and real-life stories, teens, parents, and youth leaders will start to think about sex in a whole new way.

Don't Let Jerks Get The Best Of You Advice For Dealing With Difficult People Review

Don't Let Jerks Get The Best Of You Advice For Dealing With Difficult People
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book was given to me 4 years ago and I never read it until a few weeks ago. I wish I had read it sooner! I work in retail sales and it has really helped me in understanding how to work with Jerks and to eliminate jerk-isms within myself. Within the covers Dr. Meier covers the spiritual ramifications of jerkism and how your relationship with God (geared more in a Christian sense) can help you destroy selfish behaviour and relationship-crippling activities. Meier not only gives us a beautiful autobiography of his own fight with the jerk within but gives many clinical cases of jerk-ism defeated (from both internal and external sources). I would reccomend this book to EVERYONE as it will do nothing but improve your relationship with your fellow man. This book can also help abuse survivors to truly survive in all ways and help one overcome fears and heal deep emotional scars left by even the most destructive of abuse. This is a must-have for any household.

One Lonely Degree Review

One Lonely Degree
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Finn's life has been unraveling ever since that night in September, that party and Adam Porter. And of course, to add even more stress, her parents' relationship has been steadily deteriorating. Life is almost more than she can bear. It's a good thing her best friend Audrey is there for her, or Finn wouldn't know what to do. Thus, Finn ignores her tentative initial attraction to Beautiful Boy Jersy, her childhood friend from way back when, when Audrey expresses her interest. When Audrey goes away for the summer, Finn finds herself spending more time with Jersy. But being with Jersy, the only thing that feels right amidst the disaster in Finn's life, would mean betraying Audrey. How if Finn supposed to know what's right and wrong now?
Martin paints a vivid picture of the effects of damage on people's lives in One Lonely Degree. Protagonist Finn is the prime example of this. She is still reeling, months later, from an unpleasant experience that probably freaked her out more than harmed her but is nonetheless branded into her brain. She consequently withdraws into herself and she feels helpless when other things start to fall apart around her. Even though I've read many books that present similar problems as in One Lonely Degree, Martin seems so much more frank on the subject by including emotionally scarring experiences in multiple characters' lives. It just goes to say that in spite of damage happening, life goes on. Martin portrays this superbly through Finn's rocky struggle to overcome her past drama. Martin's characters are undeniably realistic, even the ones the reader only gets a few glimpses of. I like how she neither condemns nor condones any of the characters' actions, but rather leaves that to the reader's prerogative. One Lonely Degree is a beautifully written and moving story like life imitating art.
I recommend One Lonely Degree to readers who also liked Purge by Sarah Darer Littman, Cracked Up to Be by Courtney Summers, Everything Beautiful by Simmone Howell, and anything by Sarah Dessen or Deb Caletti. I can't wait to see more writing from Martin in I Know It's Over and novels to come.

Your Degrees Won't Keep You Warm at Night: The Very Smart Brothas Guide to Dating, Mating, and Fighting Crime Review

Your Degrees Won't Keep You Warm at Night: The Very Smart Brothas Guide to Dating, Mating, and Fighting Crime
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Champ and Panama Jackson of the VerySmartBrothas.com go all the way in for their first book, "Your Degrees Won't Keep You Warm A Night: The Very Smart Brothas Guide to Mating Dating and Fighting Crime." It's like getting advice from your older brother's ignorant best friend.
Champ and Jackson are wickedly brilliant, and they force women (and men) to take a look at the deranged things we do in the name of love, sex, and relationships. They are the Phonte Colemans of relationship blogging: they talk about relationships from a black male perspective in ways that aren't condescending (Steve Harvey) or panty-pandering (Hill Harper). They just keep it honest.
You could literally choose any page out of the book and fall into the funny. One of the best parts of the book are the footnotes, which are like little pieces of food that get stuck in your teeth that you find later in the day (and secretly satisfy your hunger for more). I feel like if I had footnotes like this:
"I've been trying to figure out the mixture of smells that contributes to the SCOO {Strip Club Odd Odor}, and I've come to realize that it's a combination of ass sweat, recycled bacon grease, Nair, MD 20/20, old pennies, Bath & Body Works' Cucumber Melon Fragrance Mist, more ass sweat, and struggle. -T.C. "
...I might have paid more attention in my college history classes.
My only complaint? My favorite post about the virtues of Erykah Badu's unexpected thickness aren't included, but I'm sure the Brothas had enough material for four books. Your degrees won't keep you warm at night, but if you follow the common sense in this book I'm sure you'll find someone who can.
