Saving My First Kiss: Why I'm Keeping Confetti in My Closet

Great for your teen.

For some people, a first kiss is nothing that they would like to save. And for others who have already lost that "first kiss" magic, they just don't see the big deal. But some want to save their first kiss for marriage and others would like to plan a party. And that is just what the book Saving My First Kiss: Why I'm Keeping Confetti In My Closet by Lisa Velthouse is all about.Lisa gradually started gathering party supplies for the big moment when this first kiss would take place. But it's not all roses and sometimes it's a battle. There lurks the feeling of being unwanted, that no one will ever find you beautiful enough. But Lisa expounds on how it's what's inside that's the most attractive.Peppered with personal experiences and picturesque wording, this book includes advice on how to be a noble and classy woman who demonstrates modesty and is confident enough not to fall prey to envy. Also included are some practical tips to keep you from making mistakes that you can't take back.I can sort of relate with this book. When I was a teenager we had a club called the "VLC," otherwise known as the "Virgin Lips Club," for those who hadn't been kissed yet. But it was a somewhat distressing experience, so I could relate with Lisa at the time that she wrote this.Lisa's writing is engaging and fun, and even though this book is years old, it is still relevant especially with today's teenagers. It would be a great one to go through at a youth group with younger girls.

After reading only the first chapter I got on the phone and started calling my friends! This is a book that everyone needs. It ranks right up there with Lady In Waiting. I will be giving it as gifts to friends who have daughters.This is one of those life-changing books. In today's society girls are pushed into the dating scene. Pressured to be what everyone is and to do what everyone else is doing. Statistics show a rise in sexual promiscuity and at a younger age. In fact I am surprised at the pressure my grade school girl has felt for not having a "boyfriend". Too often girls that go dateless are made to feel worthless - the two words have almost become alike in today's culture.Lisa Velthouse gives us a book that is so encouraging and uplifting. She shares her personal story a journey of feeling left out to being completely satisfied. Help your young daughter become centered in God's word and in her identity in Him. In the end at the alter she will present to her spouse the most perfect gift - and she will have the satisfaction of having followed God's design.Thank you Gospel Light for this review copy.

I really enjoyed Saving My First Kiss. I learned so much about God’s purpose for relationships and finding the right one. It’s definitely worth re-reading. I recommend this book to everyone and anyone. 😊This book made me happy.

Do not be fooled by the title! This book is not trying to sell you on a list of rules for dating, and the author is most definately not pushing her own commitments on anyone else. This book is refreshingly different from other Christian dating books because it deals mainly with character building and becoming more like Jesus. Lisa reveals that our focus should be on finding our identity in Christ before we try to find love and acceptance in relationships. If you are dating or wish you were, you will find Saving My First Kiss helpful as you look at romance in light of God's will for your life. I think many Christian girls will agree with Lisa when she says: "I am working to become the woman that I want to be--the kind of woman whom the man of my dreams will fall madly in love with."

I purchased this book for one of the teens that is in my youth group. She read the book rather quickly and said it provided a lot of good thoughts that helped her in a lot of ways. So without reading it myself, I can recommend it on her behalf.

Lisa's book hits home for young women everywhere! I absolutely loved the book! Lisa gives sound advice about Christian dating and holding out for Mr. right. It's a must have for christian girls.
