Dawn Eden, a Jewish-born rock journalist turned committed Christian, will share how she discovered “the thrill of the chaste” as a single woman in New York City. In the 1990s, Dawn wrote regularly for Salon, Billboard, and Mojo and penned liner notes for over 80 compact-disc reissues. She lived the lifestyle later popularized by “Sex and the City” yet found herself deeply dissatisfied. After a dramatic conversion to Christian faith in 1999, Dawn began to embrace chastity as a way of life. For Dawn, chastity is not simply a “no” to sex, but a “yes” to living out all the graces one has been given by God as a human being made in God’s image. Dawn is the author of The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes On (2007) and she is the deputy news editor at the New York Daily News.For more info on Dawn and her book, see http://www.thrillofthechaste.com  or her blog at http://www.dawneden.com/blogger.html.
