Hands Off!: This May Be Love

by Gila Manolson, Daniel Lapin (Foreword), Susan Lapin (Foreword)

Hands Off! This May Be Love, presents to people from all religious backgrounds the revolutionary idea of refraining from all physical contact before marriage. Highly readable, the book presents scientific and social proof about the power of physical touch and how the widespread practice of prematurely introducing touch into a relationship can sabotage true and lasting love. This book provides young (and not-so-young) individuals with surprising and thought-provoking ideas and also offers encouragement for doing what is both right and effective rather than what is popular.

Great book! Well written and I loved the combination of spiritual and physical reasons to "cherish touch". I would recommend this book to all young people, single, dating, and those engaged.

It was a good book and there were a few different ideas in this book than from her other one, The Magic Touch. However, many of the stories she reused from The Magic Touch and put them in this book; I would've preferred some new stories.

I am a tough reviewer, and I rarely give 5 stars to books. This book tells the truth where the truth is rare. In a very positive manner, the power of touch in male-female relations, and the power of "cherishing touch" and saving it for marriage is explained. For those who have made mistakes in the past there is hope, and for those who already are living this way, they will be reassured that they are not alone, and their resolve will be strengthened. Read this book!
