The title couldn't be more perfect for the point I believe Leslie is trying to get across. I think its kind of cool too that right after an epic chapter that ends with a challenge she puts chapter 3 to be short and sweet. So lets talk about it!
To sum up the chapter, it basically is saying to be a set apart woman you need to get your priorities straight, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the whole guy thing.
"A set apart young woman does not seek to win male favor through enhancing her sex appeal or drawing all eyes to her body... She doesn't build her life around being noticed by the opposite sex. Rather, she builds her life around Jesus Christ." (Pg60)
Our priority is Jesus. He comes first always, and we shouldn't concerned with what a guy thinks over what Christ thinks. Jesus always has to be our first love. In all reality, most mordern day guys will not be attracted to Set apart women, but Godly set apart men will be.
"Most guys have been taught that its healthy and normal to be obsessed with sex and fixated on the female body."(Pg60)
What are your opinions on this statement? Share some experiences and interactions with the opposite sex that either supports this statement or doesn't.
I know growing up, I had no clue that porn was such a major struggle for guys. It wasn't until I got older where my friends confessed to me that their boyfriends were struggling and majority of them were Christians.
Though this chapter is short later in the book we will go into more detail about the attractions between a set apart girl and a set apart guy. The first lesson we have to learn is the Jesus is our first love and we must forget about every other desire that would cause us to lose focus on his perfect will for our lives.
