<p>I feel so strongly about this topic that I am going to be giving away 6 of these guides over the next few weeks, starting here this week on our blog.</p>
<p>To learn more about the guide you can go <a title="True Love Waits" href="http://beautybydesignonline.com/true-love-waits/">here</a>.  Then come back and enter this giveaway in the following ways, 1 entry per thing.  You must comment separately letting me know you did each thing.</p>
<p>1.  1 entry for commenting on this posting letting us know the age of your daughter(s) and if you have talked with her about abstinence.</p>
<p>2.  1 entry for subscribing to our blog.  You can do so by clicking on Subscribe to my RSS feed at the end of this post.</p>
<p>3.  1 entry for following me <a title="Alyssa Avant on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/alyssaavant/" target="_blank">(@AlyssaAvant) </a>on Twitter.</p>
<p>4.  1 entry for tweeting about this giveaway.</p>
<p><strong>BONUS:</strong></p>
