Dannah Gresh, a mother/daughter communication coach, has sold well over three quarters of a million copies of her books including And the Bride Wore White and 2008's best-selling CBA youth book, Lies Young Women Believe (coauthored with Nancy Leigh DeMoss) - making her one of the most successful Christian authors targeting teens and preteens. With the belief that today's culture has been seeking to rob little girls of their innocence, Dannah has been fighting on the front lines to protect them. Her fun line of Secret Keeper Girl mom/preteen daughter connecting resources and live events that tour the country provide moms with just the right tools to fight back. She has long been at the forefront of the movement to encourage both tweens and teens to pursue purity and is often called upon to defend the conservative position of abstinence in national news media like USA Today, Time, Chicago Tribune, and Women's Wear Daily. She is also a frequent contributor to FamilyLife Today, Midday Connection, and Focus on the Family. Dannah lives in State College, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Bob, and their children, Robby, Lexi, and Autumn, whom the family adopted from China in 2007.

Praise for What Are You Waiting For?

seemingly random questions of sexuality in context. I love the way
Dannah doesn't shy away from or water down the tough issues, yet
she never compromises God's best for you! This is a must-read for
any single Christian woman."
-Dr. Juli Slattery, clinical psychologist, Focus on the Family,
and author of No More Headaches

needed book. Written honestly and compellingly, this is a must-read
for all teenage girls-wait, this is a must-read for everyone,
especially teenage guys! I am so grateful for this important
resource and plan to recommend it to all my young adult
readers."

"Dannah Gresh hits another home run! What Are You Waiting
For? is refreshingly real and relevant-definitely a timely
message for today's generation of young women!"
-Shannon Ethridge, international speaker and best-selling author of
Every Young Woman's Battle
"This is hands-down the best book about sexual fidelity I have ever
read-informative, entertaining, and very inspiring. Dannah
Gresh tackles the trickiest of topics with astonishing grace. Her
explanation of the sacred power of sex is unblushing and
revelatory. I know this is a book for girls, but every Christian
guy should read it too. I'm already reading it for the second
time."
-Nate Larkin, founder of the Samson Society and author of Samson
and the Pirate Monks: Calling Men to Authentic Brotherhood
"If you are looking for the gospel truth on the very real issue of
sex and sexuality that all singles face, this is the book for you.
Dannah Gresh talks to singles where they really live. Not only is
it refreshing, it is liberating-as truth always is. Dannah does not
dance around the issues but addresses them with in-your-face
clarity that is sorely needed. Sharing the spiritual implications
while balancing the reality of the natural world we live in, Dannah
practically addresses how singles can be victorious in the battle
between the flesh and the spirit."
-Michelle McKinney Hammond, author of What Women Don't Know and
Men Don't Tell You
"All I can say is wow! My assistant's teenage daughter
agreed to flip through this book for me as a favor and ended up
absorbed in the entire thing! As she rightly put it, What Are
You Waiting For? brings 'amazing insight into what no one tells
you about sex-and it really can strengthen the relationship you
have with God and your future spouse.' This book is a fantastic
read. Dannah Gresh has such a special way of taking an important
subject and making it appealing, practical, and accessible to
everyone."
-Shaunti Feldhahn, best-selling author of For Women Only
and For Young Women Only
"In an age where sex is perverted and belittled-when it appears to
be a tool in the hands of the Enemy rather than the God who created
it-Dannah has shown us God's pure intention for sexuality. Through
an in-depth study of Scripture and confirmation in life
experiences, she highlights the honest-to-goodness biblical truth
behind one of life's most precious and beautiful mysteries. Women
young and old will read this book and find the inspiration and
tools they need to treat God's gift of sexuality with the respect
and protection it deserves."
-Julie Hiramine, founder of Generations of Virtue and author of
Beautifully Made
"What Are You Waiting For? is a well-written study of the
sexual culture our teens are immersed in today and offers a
culturally relevant perspective that aligns itself with the Word of
God. Dannah has managed to walk the fine line of approaching this
difficult subject in a way that will inspire teens to live holy
lives and inspire parents to broach this delicate topic with their
kids. This book is not for the faint of heart; however, neither is
raising teenagers in our current society."
-Ron Luce, founder and president of Teen Mania Ministries
