July Book Announcement

I've always wanted to read this. July seems like a good time to do it. How many of you have already read it? If I'm the only one who hasn't read it I have a pretty good back up.

I'm next, right?

Ugh!

This book has been really hard for me to read. I keep thinking of that "conference" of the church when Jacob was the prophet and he had to speak harsh words to soft hearts or broken hearts. I just don't really want to be happy about the idea of pornography being so HUGE.

I keep reading until there is a positive note then I take a break.

I can't read it right before I go to bed or I have sad dreams.

I'm taking it really really slowly.

I'm really happy to be reading it though because it is reality. And I have a son. Oh, and I'm pregnant and I think it's going to be another son. I can also see a lot of parallels in the science of the brain and other addictions I've read about: drugs and alcohol. I guess that's obvious though because the author points out the similarities.

I'm motivated to take a positive and proactive approach to teaching our children about this beginning with "I Am A Child of God." The sanctity and eternity of our bodies. The Plan of Happiness. Personal grooming and respect as well as for others.

Lots of thoughts. Thanks for choosing the book Cami.

What are you all thinking as you read this book?
