Important Update!

I would like to say sorry for the inconvenience our website “Shop” page has caused you.

I heard from many of you that you were not able to order my first book, “Beyond the Fairy Tale” (in English) and my first teaching CDs, “What Sex Is Not” and “What Sex Is” (in Amharic).

So, you can go ahead and order now. Here is the link: www.appealforpurity.org/storefront/
