Don't Awaken Love Until It Pleases is a compilation of convictions and conversations, endorsed through scripture (specifically the Song of Solomon), to embolden moms to embrace the not-so-typical S-E-X talk with their daughters. Scripture provides a plan to replace the guilt and fear tactics of "traditional" discussions about sexual intimacy with truth and beauty. Don't Awaken Love expounds this truth and beauty in a way that daughters will be compelled to joyfully pursue purity before marriage and to confidently anticipate the intimacy and pleasure God plans for them during marriage.
