BUFFALO, N.Y., June 14, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- As the debate reaches fever pitch over the 'Plan B' morning after pill being made available to women and girls of all ages, without a prescription, author Dianna Hobbs, named one of the "70 Most Influential Black Christian History-Makers" by Black Christian News Network, gears up for the release of her new book advocating a biblical worldview of sex. The New A-list: Abstinence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder (July 29, 2013 / ISBN 978-0-615-83176-3, $15.99, NyreePress) shares Bible-based strategies, practical advice, and the author's own experiences, to help readers discover how to successfully adopt a lifestyle of purity.

In The New A-list, Hobbs, an Abstinence Advocate, who remained a virgin until marriage, points out the absurdity of viewing sexual promiscuity as acceptable, while looking at purity with disdain, as if it were a strange and outdated model. "The eroding away of biblical and commonsense values in this nation is just astounding to me," said the Empowering Everyday Women Ministries Founder, whose inspiration for the book came after presenting the keynote address at a purity ceremony in Spartanburg, SC. "But even in the midst of moral decay, there are some people still standing up for what is right and I call them 'The New-A-list,' with the 'A' representing abstinence."

"This is such an important book that teaches the value of waiting and honoring God with our bodies," said Kennisha Hill, President of NyreePress. "The New A-list couldn't have been released at a better time, as restrictions are about to be lifted off the morning after pill, STDs are wreaking havoc in our communities, and teen pregnancy rates remain high. I'm thankful Dianna is boldly sharing the truth."

Hobbs is an award-winning urban faith-based media specialist who hosts a daily radio show, "Cross Culture In HD" on the Hall of Fame-inducted station, WUFO 1080; owns Empowering Everyday Women Online Magazine, the number one web publication for women of faith and color; and writes an inspirational blog "Your Daily Cup of Inspiration," read by women around the world. Now, The New A-list extends Hobbs' reach to both women and men, with a message promoting biblical truth.

"The New A-list is an incredible page-turner that singles of all ages will use as they journey on the road to abstinence and Godliness," added Hill. "In a society where so many people believe sex is a cure, Dianna highlights key principles that beg to differ. Everyone should read it!"
