Sex and the Single Girl: Smart Ways to Care for Your Heart

Sex and the Single Girl

Smart Ways to Care for Your Heart

Our world has a lot to say about sex and about singleness, but it all comes down to this: you can do whatever you want. But is that the smart way to care for your heart? Perhaps you have already experienced the emotional and spiritual fallout that comes with sexual “freedom.” How many times has your heart been broken? Through her own experience, Ellen Dykas offers the way to protect your heart by following God’s plan for your sexuality and pursuing healthy relationships and sexual wholeness through the grace and strength Christ provides. Because the smartest way to care for your heart is to give it to the One who knows you and loves you best.

About the Author

Ellen Dykas, M.A., is the Women’s Ministry Coordinator at Harvest USA and oversees the gospel-centered teaching and discipleship of women struggling with relational, sexual, and victimization issues. She is a graduate of Covenant Seminary and has a graduate certificate in Biblical Counseling. In addition, she has over twenty years of experience in teaching and mentoring others through the Bible.

Ellen Dykas is passionate about ministry to women. “So many women are bound up in the pain and shame of their relational and sexual brokenness and are missing the joys of living out the gifting God has for them! I hope that anything I write or speak will draw women to our Healer who sets us free to walk in the rich purposes he has for each daughter of God,” she explains.
