In her book, My Journey from Perverseness to Purity, Shamine Marie McDowell candidly talks about the detrimental consequences of choosing to be sexually active as an unmarried single. She shares about seeds of lust that were planted in her heart at an early age and the heartbreaking consequences that followed for years to come. Although Shamine dishonored her Heavenly Father through outright disobedience and rebellion, He bestowed His love and mercy on her as only a loving Father could be delivering out of the bondage that sexual immorality creates.
