There is a culture war going on: Kingdom versus contemporary. Who's winning?
In our anything-goes society, where mainstream ideals have pushed forward a “do whatever you feel” ideology
that is eroding away the moral fiber of our nation, a new generation is rising up.
The who’s who of the Hollywood elite, for decades, has arrested the attention of millions, while driving trends
and influencing the hearts and minds of the masses, whether deliberately or inadvertently.
Many of those considered A-listers by the world's standards—wealth, fame, and notoriety—often live in direct
contradiction to the biblical prescription for sex while the eyes of the world are watching. Does this make them
horrible people? Not in the least. But should we allow their life choices to set the standard for us? Not in the
least.
The powerful images of couples that cohabitate and start families outside the context of marriage, make a
strong impact on the impressionable. According to a 2013 report released by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics, between 2006 and 2010, 48% of women between the
ages of 15 and 44 moved in, for the first time, with a man to whom they were not married.
Statistics like this can easily give off the impression that virginity, abstinence, and adherence to Godly
principles is outdated in contemporary society. But this is not true.
In this day and age, many people continue to say no to the world’s standards often embraced by Hollywood’s
A-List celebrities. They refuse to be mesmerized by the blinding glare of the mega-watt spotlight shone on
power couples, whose manner of living does not line up with divine principles. This army of firm contenders for
the faith, will not bow down to the gods of this world. They are determined to take a stand for holiness.
They are “The New A-list,” with the “A” representing abstinence. These unashamed leaders are being
mobilized, encouraged, and equipped for the journey by award-winning urban faith-based media specialist,
author, and abstinence advocate, who, herself remained a virgin until marriage, Dianna Hobbs.
Singles of all ages, with an eagerness to adopt a new view on waiting, which mirrors Godly principles, instead of
worldly perspectives, will find The New A-List encouraging, refreshing, informative, and quite hard to put down.
In the popular inspirational blogger's signature writing style, Dianna offers up a message of purity with grace,
compassion, transparency and humor. Without condemning or sugar-coating, she gently guides the reader,
Complete with modern statistics, present-day examples, personal anecdotes, and ready-to-use ideas for real-
world application, The New A-list is the perfect tool to equip this generation to save sex until after the I Dos, and
take an unwavering stand for the cause of Christ. For information contact: info@nyreepress.com or
