Mark's Notebook


	If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of him. - Thomas Carlyle

An avowed virgin-until-marriage, she does not go libertine. In fact, all she does is turn from a graduate of True Love Waits, the popular virginity-preservation program, to an activist in behalf of sex education and the separation of church and school. But to make this change, she must defy her parents, her pastor and the school board. All of this civil disobedience is as hard as it ever was.
