"I Can Do No Other"
In a spectacular one-sentence review, Martin Luther has placed his stamp of approval on a new book by Dawn Eden, The Thrill of the Chaste:
This frank, funny, and frightening tale of sex in the city by a journalist, rock-trivia maven, and Christian convert may be the perfect Christmas gift for that ungrateful teenager of yours who stays out till all hours of the night supposedly at some "concert" when in fact she's probably doing YOU KNOW WHAT in some motel out by the airport to the sounds of Satan's cackle as it echoes down the lonely gray highways of a life thrown away because of some idiot in a Kurt Cobain T-shirt and a car he paid for by selling smack to crippled kids in the parking lot of St. Jude's Children's Hospital! Damn him! Damn him to hell!
Not one to mince words, Martin Luther. But he's been known to have a good eye for books. And this one apparently packs a punch. Of The Thrill of the Chaste, an Amazon reviewer notes:
In brief, this is not your typical Christian self-help book or dating guide... With ease, Dawn blows John Eldredge out of the water and kisses Joshua Harris goodbye. Dawn makes the case for chastity, and she proves it.
Not being a woman (or single), I doubt I'll be able to construct a plausible excuse to read this book (although I'm working on it.) But those who fall into one or both of those categories might want to take a look.
** Isn't Martin Luther dead? And is her name really "Dawn Eden?" I really can't answer either of those questions. ;) I've been meaning to introduce Martin Luther for awhile, though.

Martin Luther writes his sentences like L.M. Montgomery does -- in paragraphs.
