Reviews

[Cari · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clear and straightforward. I didn’t care for all the “that’s gross” comments by the author throughout the book.

[Gree Velásquez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Un libro de mucha ayuda para adolescentes, jóvenes e incluve para padres.
Tambien funciona muy bien como material para que el líder de Jóvenes y adolescenres pueda estar equipado y hablarle a sus miembros sobre el Código de la Pureza.
Hoy a mis 26 años fue de bendición, y hubiese deseado que este libro llegara a mi vida hace unos años atrás.

Es una lectura muy interesante, la pluma de los autores es totalmente adictiva, una vez que empecé a leer no pude detenerme hasta deborar el libro por completo.

Lo recomiendo muchísimo.
