| Publisher Description: Dinah Jacob is a story of an ill-timed passion and betrayal involving a young woman whose family had just relocated into a new city. As soon as she picked-up friendships with the local girls and she began frequenting one of the girl's residence, a young man in the city got interested in her. Unfortunately, no one was prepared for what followed. Before they could even get well acquainted, the young man date-raped her on their first encounter to the dismay of everyone else. It is a heart rending story that began well with the girl's birth, but did not end well. Because when the heinous act was perpetrated upon her, her brothers took the law into their own hands and slaughtered the whole city. Regrettably in this situation, the consequences were as harsh as was the act itself. Lamentably, this is not an isolated case. There are records showing that rape is a widespread and frequent phenomena even today. Yet the thrust of this story is meant to alert the young people to the fact that rape and other sexual abuses are common and can happen to anyone. Some studies have shown that at least a third of girls and a quarter of boys have been sexually molested or abused in some way. I have written as if I favor the girl child simply because this story is about a girl and also because they are the most vulnerable to sexual manipulations in the name of love. The opinions and facts I have expressed herein are not all original with me; I have picked up some here and there along the way from a number of sources in my walk with God. But they are proven wisdom from a Judeo-Christian perspective based on the biblical principles, which are the best guide for every human life. This little volume does not purport to be a text-book on sex or youth behavior, but it is a provocation to the young people to pursue relevant knowledge on sexology rightfully. Though it is small and does not exhaust all there is to be said on this subject; it is conservatively forthright and explicit in its address. |
