ENDORSEMENTS
"Why would a thirtysomething modern woman give up sex? At the heart of The Thrill of the Chaste is this mystery story which as it unfolds reveals our deep human longing for a love that matters, for a sexual union that is real. A brave, beautiful book."
– Maggie Gallagher, President, Institute for Marriage and nationally syndicated columnist"
"Eden is fearless about sharing details of her personal life so that others might learn from her mistakes. Her story, told with breezy wit and peppered with literary and pop-culture references, makes for an eye-opening and persuasive witness."
– Robyn Lee, National Catholic Register
"Dawn Eden is part of a growing group of talented professionals who, having bought into our culture's message about sex, found it wanting and searched for something better. Her life experience enables her to demonstrate with compelling, hard-earned wisdom why living chastely is, as the title suggests, 'thrilling.'"
– Christopher West, Theology of the Body Institute
"The Thrill of the Chaste is a book by one who has been there. It's a book for anybody who has the brains to see that America's present sexual ethos is a con job resulting in a herd of isolated ciphers all alike in their loneliness and sense of exploitation. Dawn Eden knows that the only really exciting, love-filled, and happy life is one that embraces Chesterton's great battle cry, 'Break the conventions! Keep the Commandments!'"
– Mark P. Shea, Senior Content Editor, CatholicExchange.com
"I can't say I agree with everything in it or 100% with the overall
message, but there were some parts of it that I really liked and related to,
especially the chapter on 'Becoming a Singular Sensation.' As a single
woman myself, Dawn's given me a lot to think about."
– Rachel Kramer Bussel, author and Village
Voice "Lusty Lady" columnist
"BUY THIS BOOK! So much more hip than 'Sex And The City'... Dawn
Eden takes you on a journey that delivers far more than it
promises. Not only does Eden deliver a truth-based foundation for what
single women are ultimately looking for, she does so in an ever-so-New York,
transparency that shows she has nothing to hide. Dawn's advice to the
single woman in today's world is laced with grit you will not find anywhere
else. I know, because single women call my show everyday looking for the
wisdom that Eden dispenses! With better writing and far more spunk than
Carrie Bradshaw, Eden proves a worldview based in unrelenting honesty is the
only true way to find out for herself what a woman truly needs! Buy a copy
of this book for every single woman you know. They will thank you for
it!"
– Kevin McCullough, award-
winning talk-show host, WMCA-AM 570, New York City, and author,
MuscleHead Revolution
"A remarkable record of conversion, written by New York's hippest
downtown scripture-quoting blog darling. Move over, St. Augustine!"
– James Panero, Managing Editor, The New
Criterion
