Wow! I wish you all were there! Last Sunday, at IEEC, DC, was a fantastic day for me personally! I bless God for everything!

And thank you to all of you who bought my first book, “Beyond the Fairy Tale!” Of course, thank you to all who ordered my book online as well. Continue reading My Book Release Day!

“Beyond the Fairy Tale” – Book Trailer!

When I received the shipment from my publisher, I opened the first box and fell on the floor. It was like a childbirth kind of experience. I took out one book, kissed it many times and I wanted to cry but at the same time I wanted to shout and laugh! I held my book tightly close to my heart and fell before my God and my Lord who saw me through the tough road of writing a book. It was a long and at times very trying journey but through it all, God stood with me saying, “Fixed your eyes on Me and keep going!” Continue reading “Beyond the Fairy Tale” – Book Trailer!

“Why did you write “Beyond the Fairy Tale?”

Cover Page for Beyond the Fairy Tale

Many reasons! But my number one reason is this: I couldn’t find a book with basic biblical truth about sex and sexual pleasure.

I so far read many books about sex written by very respected, educated and knowledgeable spiritual authors, sought after speakers and leaders. However I am yet to find a book where I can read and understand biblical truths about sex as I can read and understand “A B C”.

That was actually the first question my publisher asked me when I turned in the manuscript. And this was my first simple and straightforward answer.

And they also asked me why this book is unique and different from other books on similar topics. My answer for this question is found in the introduction part of my book.

Mirrors I Adore

I am not sure how many mirrors you have in your house but in my house, you can find at least one mirror in every room. Well, let me take that back. Only those rooms I spend most of my time have mirrors.

Why? I love to look at myself! I don’t think it is sinful for a woman to look at herself in the mirror to take care of herself; to keep herself neat, clean and beautiful. My husband is my number one motivator to take care of myself because he compliments me. I mean after all, I’m his bride; I’m his crown (Proverbs 12:4); I’m his glory (1 Corinthians 11:7). So I better look pretty for him.

And my mirrors usually help me to earn, a “You look pretty Baby” kind of compliments from my loving husband. You have no idea how I love to hear those words from him! Duh! He is the only man I want to impress every day! Continue reading Mirrors I Adore

From Minneapolis back to Maryland

Minnesota

Hello, to you all the Appeal for Purity Ministry Facebook page fans!

Did I miss writing? You bet I did! Whenever I travel, other than missing my loving husband and kids, writing is the one thing I miss the most!

Well, I had a wonderful time at Minnesota! I was one of the speakers invited to speak at the 9th annual United Youth for Christ (UY4C) conference.

As usual, before I tell you anything about the conference, I want to say thank you to the people who invited me over and made my stay in Minnesota a meaningful one.

I would like to say “Thank you” to Pastor Endiryas Hawaz, the senior pastor of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church in Minnesota (EECM), the hosting church pastor. Continue reading From Minneapolis back to Maryland

To Stay Closer or To Stay Far Away

If a fire starts in our basement, do we run away for our life or do we chill around?

No brainer! We sure run away for our life.

Let’s say, we couldn’t run away and we called 911. From the following two possible questions, which one are we most likely going to ask the 911 operator who is going to answer our call:

“What should I do to get closer to the fire?” Or,

“What should I do to stay away from the fire?” Continue reading To Stay Closer or To Stay Far Away

“I have abnormally high sexual desires”

Some people who struggle to break free from porn addiction and other forms of dangerous sexual practices think that they have more sexual hormones and urges than many people.

As some child development experts assert, if a child cries looking for comfort from his mom, and if his mom repeatedly gives him cookies in response, the child learns at that early and informative age that eating gets rid of unwanted desires. Continue reading “I have abnormally high sexual desires”

“I want to teach my kids to be sexually pure”

A4P Guest: I am a mother of two beautiful girls, ten and twelve years old; and I really want to teach them about sexual purity. How can I do that?

A4P: Good for you! But why do you want to teach them about sexual purity?

A4P Guest: Because sexual purity is the teaching of the Bible and I want my daughters to follow that teaching.

A4P: Why?

A4P Guest: Okay, I don’t really understand your question. Continue reading “I want to teach my kids to be sexually pure”
