Join me tonight on Teen Talk Radio at 10pm EST as I chat with Betsy St. Amant while we attempt to answer some tough questions about dating. When is the right time to start? How do I know if a guy is a good choice? Where should I go on dates? What kinds of dates are best? When should I say no?

On one hand, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that much of what fills my plate is of God. On the other hand, I know that He never asked me to complete my tasks at super-human speed. On one hand, I know that my heart is right and that I want nothing more than to be a light and share God Word and His plan with other people. On the other hand, I know that He wants me to know Him as much as I want to make Him known. On one hand, I wouldn't trade a bit of what I have on my plate for an empty one. On the other hand, a nap would be nice.

My first guest is Stephanie Morrill. She's the host of a great website for teen writers called Go Teen Writers! and she's also the author of a super fun series called The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt. Tonight we'll be talking about Steph's books, and we'll also ask (and attempt to answer) the question: What's the big deal about purity? Following my chat with Stephanie, we'll be switching gears completely. We'll hear from Lisa Grace, the author of "the Christian's alternative to the Twilight series." The first in her series has been optioned for a movie. Join us to hear all about that process.
