I enjoyed this and I think the author was very brave to write it.

Chrissy was raised in a Christian home (her father was the Pastor of their church) but she became distracted from God, her friends and family after she developed an obsession with a man who was a few years older than her. After cutting contact with everyone and abandoning her studies and various jobs for this man, she ends up pregnant and alone until she finally turns to God for help. Her story also deals with the powerful emotional impact of music and how it can be used for good but also for evil.

The author is now married and decided to write her very personal and traumatic story to try and influence other girls away from non-Christian relationships. She describes well the emotional ties that can be formed which can be very difficult to break free from.

I would recommend this book for any Christian who is either in one of these relationships or who is considering it. I hope Chrissy's story will encourage you to make the wise (and biblical decision) not to get into one of these relationships believing that God will bless it, as Chrissy discovered, it may end up nearly destroying you instead.

I am rating this 4 stars due to some minor theological issues that I personally don't agree with but I would still recommend this book. It is clean; free of bad language and violence and there is no detail of the sexual activity. ( )
