I was 11 years old when my curiosity first got the best of me, and I picked up a book that contained explicit sexual material. At that point, I didn’t even know what sex was, but I knew that reading it made me feel good. So I went back again. And again. It wasn’t long…

It has been almost a month since the 4th of July. Did you realize that? Do you even really remember what that day was like or what you did in the following days and weeks? I bet it has slipped most everyone’s mind by now, pushed away by the business of life. For us, the 4th of…

We are happy to have Phylicia Masonheimer, writer at Phylicia Delta Blog, share her testimony with us. Originally she posted her story on her blog and has allowed us to repost it here. It shouldn’t have happened to me. I was a little girl. I was at a garage sale. It wasn’t fair. For years I asked…
