You are not only my high school sweetheart, but you are still the love of my life and will be forever.  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS  \nThere are many people to thank for a project of this sort. First, John Paul Basham for encouraging me to get me involved in this book project and the True Love Waits curriculum. I am grateful for the partnership and am truly honored you sought me out. It has been a blessing and joy to work with you! Thanks to Mark Sweeney, my agent and friend, for guiding me through the process. And some editors deserve a “shout out” for giving me great feedback: Amy Hall, Christopher Yuan, Preston Sprinkle, Taylor Combs, my wife (Stephanie), and my father (Josh) .  \nAnd thanks to the students in my high school Bible class who gave me feedback on my first draft: Scott, Isabella, Faith, Aidan, Emma, Hazel, Dylen, Daniel, Rome, and Josh. It was fun to talk through many of these issues with you.  \nCONTENTS  \nPart 1  \nChapter 1: The Invitation 3  \nChapter 2: Who Will You Trust? 9  \nChapter 3: The Sexual Ethic of Jesus 17  \nChapter 4: Experiencing True Freedom 25  \nChapter 5: The Freedom of Commitment 31  \nChapter 6: Understanding Love 37  \nChapter 7: Honoring God with Your Body and Soul 45  \nChapter 8: Distorting God’s Plan for Sex 53  \nChapter 9: Experiencing God’s Forgiveness 61  \nPart 2  \nChapter 10: Loving Others with Our Sexuality 69  \nChapter 11: The Purpose of Sex 75  \nChapter 12: Myth 1: Sex Is Not a Big Deal 83  \nChapter 13: Myth 2: Sex Is Merely a Private Act 87  \nChapter 14: Myth 3: Sexual Intercourse Is All That Matters for Purity 91  \nChapter 15: The Purpose of Singleness 95  \nChapter 16: Myth 1: Singleness Means No Family 103  \nChapter 17: Myth 2: Singleness Is Easy 107  \nChapter 18: Myth 3: Singleness Is Too Difficult 111  \nContents  \nChapter 19: The Purpose of Marriage 115  \nChapter 20: Myth 1: Marriage Will Fulfill Your Ultimate Relational Needs 125  \nChapter 21: Myth 2: Marriage Will Get Rid of Your Sin 129  \nChapter 22: Myth 3: Married Sex Is Boring 133  \nPart 3  \nChapter 23: Pornography 139  \nChapter 24: Cohabitation 147  \nChapter 25: Divorce 155  \nChapter 26: Homosexuality 163  \nChapter 27: Same-Sex Marriage 171  \nChapter 28: Transgender 179  \nChapter 29: Sexual Abuse 189  \nChapter 30: You Can Do It! 197  \nPART 1  \nCHAPTER 1  \nThe Invitation  \nhe Matrix is one of my  \nTam a huge superhero fan  \nall-time favorite films.
