For a long time, Paula Hendricks had some inaccurate ideas about what marriage would be like.

At work one day...

I passed a guy on the stairs who had just gotten married and returned from his honeymoon.

I remember asking him how he was, and his response was something like, oh, not great, I'm not having a very good day.

And I remember honestly being shocked.

Like, he is married. How could he not be having a good day?

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014.

In the month of July, you're getting a chance to meet the authors in the True Woman line of books.

Yesterday, Nancy began an interview with one of those authors, and she's here for Part 2.

My friend Paula Hendricks and one of our Revivar Hearts team members has written a fabulous little book here for teenage

girls called Confessions of a Boy Crazy Girl.

And boy, I'm so glad, Paula, that you've written this, and thank you for talking about it with us on

Revive Our Hearts, because I just think this is addressing a huge need, a huge situation. And I'm not sure it's been any different

in any era. And yet today it seems that there is such an obsession with a highly sexualized

environment and culture that maybe it is as great a need as ever. So you've been really honest. You're

winsome and engaging in the way that you're right. I think teenage girls are going to love

this book. And maybe if you're a mom, you want to get somebody else to give this book to your

daughter, unless you're sure she will value getting it from you. But I think youth directors,

and we just gave a case of

these to the girls in our ministry, the teenage gals who serve on our road teams. I think it's

going to have just a huge impact. So thank you for writing it and sharing your journey from

neediness to freedom in this book. My pleasure, Nancy, And thank you for doing an editorial pass through it.
