My former church did an entire series of youth meetings on this book which lasted for several agonizing months.
In my opinion, the book was actually pretty dumb. His idea was interesting and it worked for the author, but I find that it's often taken way out of context.
For example, in the church I was going to, they took it waaaaay too far and it ended up being a really strange ultra-conservative witch hunt. They went so far as to have public surveys to see how far everyone had gone with a SO and then berated those who fell outside of what they saw as right.
It ended up being nothing but an attemp at forcing guilt upon everyone that attended.
The way I see it, if someone's into the book that's their business, but for me it's absolutely insane.
