It is a "how to" for doing relationships in a different way, deconstructing the myths and misconceptions associated with the often misunderstood but vital to understand subject.

So much better than I expected

A lot of what was in this book was expected and was really excellent but there was a whole other level of what Rob accomplished and anyone can accomplish by transmuting their sexual energy into some thing better.

Read If You're Unsure

This was fantastic. Really easy to digest yet I still had some aha moments. This book is all you need to be prepared and committed to waiting.

Exactly what I needed to hear!

I made the decision last year to stop having sex and wait until marriage. This book was extremely insightful on many aspects of why waiting is a great decision!

wish i could give this book to the 14 year old me.

very insightfull book, i wish i could give this book.to my 14 year old self. i recognise almost all the problems and mistakes i made in my life. alway thought i was just weak or there was something wrong with me, every break up i would.fall apart and rebuild myself as a better man, swearing this time.it will be different. but everytime it went exzaktely like in the book.now i finaly knowo what was going on. give this book to a young soul in the pain of a breakup and they will be greatefull.
the book is a bit god heavy but its not pushy or demanding. so you can easily substitute it with your own beleef system. i remeber a muslim friend of mine that waited. just like the book said. he also never spend time alone with her, to not go wrong. at that time i was caught up in the western lie of having as much sex as you can to prove you are a man. and i made fun of him. now he has the life i wish i had. married with a beutifull loving, dedicated and suporting wife, two kids. he is the leader of his family and he is the real man now. i am also maried, but its unstable and not clear if we will make it....we had sex on the first date.....draw your own concusions.

Best book on waiting out there

Wish I had come across this sooner! So practical, easy to get through, and 100% REAL. I am a woman but I have a similar testimony to the author and pray to God more young men and women come across this and learn from the mistakes of others, and see their lives transformed for the better. Thank you so much for sharing your story and advice Robert. It’s encouraging me in my singleness and I’m sharing it with others.
