Summary: Great resource for teaching the teens (especially girls)
Review: "Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry" as the title suggests is about why girls lose but it's also about how they can win. From my own experience I am sure that I was a hunter of girls looking for the girl that thought sex was love. Sex is NOT love, as the book suggests, however the book deals with a change of heart in order to change your life. I destroyed many girls innocence because they thought that sex was love. "Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry" takes into account how many guys have what seems uncontrollable desires and they WILL say anyhting to get what they want. If lady's new what went on in a man's mind, the things that men NEVER admit to, they would have Lisa's insight on how to protect their younger girls from the men who hunt rather than love. What goes in a man's mind is why so many fathers are protective of their daughter's. I have discovered that the desires of lust are the enemy of true love and this book captures this characteristic of life awesomely well. A person who is open to applying a word to their life will find this book excellent. I hope there are more people with Lisa's phenomenal insight.

Summary: a lot of christian cliches but not really biblical
Review: about the only thing "biblical" in this book is the plea to save sex until marriage. the poster who stated that this book hits the old tired cliches couldnt be more right. not all women who sin sexually do it because they are grudgingly giving it up for love and are being arm twisted by slobbering male animals. some of them do it for (GASP) the same reasons that men do: they want it yet have failed to grasp what Gods real plan is for sexuality so they settle for the worlds junk food. the book also lapses into what so many books that encourage young people to wait do: without even meaning to it holds up this promise that because you waited that God almost owes you a magical fairytale marriage of the sort that apparently Ms Bevere enjoys. simply read many many Christian "problem" boards to see that simply waiting is no guarantee of living happily ever after. you remain chaste to please God, not to ensure that prince charming will be delivered to your door.
finally the author pulls a couple of "rules" seemingly out of thin air: the thing about body piercing being "OK" if it is noses or ears because they are in the bible but anythign else is wrong because it is not. PLEASE...

Summary: This is a must read book!
Review: Again Lisa Bevere has been used by God to help bring clarity to an all-growing problem in the Church. Each woman who reads this book will gain insight and understanding as to why so many of our young girls are headed in the wrong direction of looking for love in all the wrong places."Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry" is a must read for any woman who finds herself struggling to live a pure life but doesn't understand why she just can't seem to be free. Personally I feel that all Christian women would benefit from reading this book even if they are not experiencing their own personal struggle in this area, simply because it will heighten their level of compassion for those who are. Lisa's easy writing style and simplicity gives insight into the many different emotions and life circumstance that drives women to seek love in all the wrong places, and at the same time she gives great hope for victory through good strong biblical advice as to how to overcome the spirit of lust and the temptation to live outside of the perfect will of God. Any Christian woman who feels she is doomed to living an amoral life and has given up on the thought of every being free from sexual improprieties outside of marriage will be encouraged by this book to forge on until she is victorious. It will also help mothers to instruct their daughters as to the emotional consequences of love outside of the marriage bed and the effects it could have on your life forever. By sharing her own life experiences in these areas, Lisa proves without a doubt that the love of God can and will turn your life around if that is what you truly desire. I can only be grateful to Lisa for her honesty and candor as she tackled the many hard and difficult subjects that women are struggling with in secret and in many cases are skirted over in the Church, therefore leaving so many of God's daughters to live beneath their privilege and feeling helpless. Lisa, I give you a standing ovation my dear sister for teaching and challenging us to help clothe our dear sisters with the love of God.

Summary: makes all women sound feeling touchy
Review: Her views are too introspective,subjective and feely touchy.
How can the book give a teenage girl or woman any sense of
confidence or influence in the world,when the author is
generalising about "female behaviour" whatever it is,and
dividing men and women into two opposites unable to
have similar experiences.
Certainly many a girl or woman has broken a boy or man's
heart.Many a boy or man have fallen in love and have had
emotional trauma.
One sterotype after another about how women are needy and
become more needy after a sexual experience.
There all here,double standards and sterotypes.
Book does not empower women but makes women out to be
emotionaly weak and unable to seperate sex and love.

Summary: Unrealistic for all but the "beautiful people"
Review: I bought this book after seeing Lisa Bevere on James Robison's program. I was angry with her after reading it. She may have talked to a lot of girls before writing it, but her primary point of reference is her own marriage, the qualities of which she seems to claim can be replicated like a cookie-cutter. She may have been healed of her own guilt at not being a virgin on her wedding night, but it has become a snobbishness that I would not teach to my daughter, if I had one. Further, I would tell my son, which I DO have, that if a girl he wanted to go out with took that attitude, to walk away. She's not real. I just can't get past the idea that any woman, no matter her looks, can pull this princess image and attitude off. Lisa, you need to read those fairy tales again. There is not a single one in which the princess is not considered physically beautiful by everyone around her, and the primary reason the prince or knight saves or protects her is because he is smitten by her beauty even more than everyone else. Even Beauty and the Beast ends with the Beast becoming a physically attractive man, suited for his beautiful partner. Where is there a fairy tale of a handsome young man loving an ugly woman or princess just for what she is? That's where the fairy tale analogy falls apart in "Kissed The Girls", and with it, much of the justification for the points Lisa makes.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: I bought this book in hopes it would give me some wisdom to share with my teen-aged boys. WOW, it was healing and I recommend it to any mother with a daughter. I'm sending a copy to my sister for her and her two daughters. I am also getting a copy for our youth leaders at church. God is awesome!

Summary: Bevere gives great perspective
Review: I like Lisa Bevere's perspective and style of writing. She knows how to get her message across in a way that will hit home with the reader. She appeals to a very human essence instead of writing in a stale and boring way that will turn readers off. I have been abstinent for over 4-1/2 years and it's been a wonderful road of self discovery and self improvement. I thank God for blessing Lisa with the inspiration to take on this subject. It wasn't easy to find good books on the issue of sexual abstinence.
