Rolling Stone magazine bannered their June-July cover feature, "The New Virgin Army...Life Among the Young and the Sexless." Inside they recommended Rebecca St. James’ book, Wait For Me as must read 'Virginity Lit 101' material on the subject of the abstinence agenda.
In the most recent cover of Christian Music Planet magazine, St. James is posed alongside Stephen Baldwin and Brian “Head” Welch as major influences for reaching a lost generation.
Furthermore, Discovery Channel recenlty sent a film crew from Canada to Nashville to tape her thoughts on the rising tide of virgins among us for a Sex Files documentary set to air in the fall. Toronto's influential Globe & Mail last month did a major profile feature on her--calling her "an alternative pop music icon--the Other Madonna."
Based on these appearances, it is hard to doubt the immense impact St. James’ has on young adults of today’s generation. She has soon become a heroic figure and a voice to teens who are being pressured with sexual messages among peers to “just do it.”
Now St. James introduces a new book to the audience. In the midst of working on her latest album, St. James takes time out of the studio to launch promotion for the teen edition of SHE- SHE TEEN, a "bookzine" formatted, two hundred plus page full color book. The book is targeted towards girls in the age group 11-18, with subjects such as dating, boundaries, peer pressures, relationships with parents, real beauty--and of course sexual purity-- addressed in relevant terms that teen girls can understand and adopt as positive reinforcements in overcoming life's challenges.
The highly anticipated book will hit shelves Sept. 1, 2005.
