"Just thought I would drop you a quick note to say thank you very much for writing that book on waiting for sex. I used it recently to express my belief in waiting to some of my friends. I knew what I believed but had difficulty in explaining it. The book is very clear and easy to understand." (student)

"As President of Care Net, I believe that Emily Chase's book Why Say No When My Hormones Say Go? is timely and appropriate for the teenage population we serve. Based on the story of 2 Samuel 13, the book offers new insights into the personal consequences of sexual intimacy outside marriage. I'm convinced that Emily's book has the potential of appealing to teenagers and profoundly serving their need to make positive choices about their sexual behavior." (Guy Condon)

"I am writing this letter to recommend to you a new book written by Emily Chase. Emily has used a biblical account of the past to show the impact of an impure act on a modern day couple and the different people in their lives. . . . Love, lust, rape, anger, grief, pride, peer pressure, all have been around since the beginning of time, and Emily helps the reader realize that our struggle to be pure is an age old struggle. Her book helps us discuss the struggle and come out on the winning side." (Molly Kelly)
