Worth The Wait: A Guide to Abstinence for Teens

By Casme' Ann Barnes-Carter

"Worth the Wait" isn't just a book-it's my real-life testimony.

As the eldest of eight, I was excited to set the tone. I chose abstinence not out of fear, but out of faith. I wanted to honor God, protect my future, and live a life that inspired others to do the same.

From dodging peer pressure in high school to walking away from record deals that came with hidden agendas, I've seen how the world tries to twist purity into weakness. But I've learned that waiting is strength, purpose, protection, and power.

I didn't always get it right. I slipped, I cried, I prayed-but I never gave up. And when I finally said, "The next man to enter this temple will be my husband," I meant it.

Three years later, I married the love of my life, Gary. Two years after that, we welcomed our daughter, Cianna. And now? I get to look back and say with full confidence:

It was absolutely worth the wait.
