Armond E. Mosley is a young man with a purpose to help other young people deal with issues of faith and sexuality. Armond's book, "<strong>Rededication: A Story of Sex, Repentance and Restoration</strong>" was released on June 6, 2011. As the title suggests, "Rededication" is a story that takes the reader on a journey with a young man who finds himself wrestling to reconcile his sexual desires with his spiritual convictions. Everything around him said that sex before marriage was ok. But, everything inside of him said that God's command still prevailed. What will he do? Succumb to the desires of his flesh or pursue the arduous road of sexual purity?<br />
