AUTHOR SAYS WHAT WE DON’T VALUE WE VIOLATE: NEW BOOK INTRODUCTION

Dominique Marie Balque, a Missionary/Evangelist/Teacher/Mentor/Motivational Speaker

Her book, CAN’T TOUCH THIS – THE SEXUAL STRUGGLE, is an awe-inspiring autobiography of a young woman’s struggle between obtaining sexual gratification and God’s will and purpose for her life.

Called “One of the Best Books on Sexual Purity”, her book has dynamically changed, transformed and/or empowered the lives of many – it’s a must read for all. There is not one single reader whose life won’t be mirrored in some way through Can’t Touch This – it is indeed a page-turner.

Founder of PISE Performing Arts Theatre for Youth, Evangelist Imani Hayward, states: “Can’t Touch This brought up issues in my life (I thought had long disappeared) back to the surface to be dealt with and prayed about…” Dr. Minnie Claiborne, a Christian Counselor, Author, & Professor, declares: “Dominique’s ‘down to earth style’, clarity of expression and flow, coupled with a sensitive, balanced, and ‘bare all’ approach; makes her book by far, one of the best that I have ever read on sexual purity.” Furthermore, Minister Inez Burkhardt of Breakthrough Believers’ Ministries, International claims: “Can’t Touch This is a master piece of uninhibited truths and transparencies that deals with the potential perils of life, flesh and lust. The contents can be life changing and a source of encouragement and hope for others. A must read for all, awesome job.”

Currently residing in Southern California, Dominique Balque, a Peace Officer, Administrative/Systems Design Consultant, Graphic Artist, Community Director, President of VWUC (Virtuous Women Under Construction) and several other outreach organizations works extensively with youth and young adults in various capacities.

Dominique says that her new book “emphatically addresses the sexual epidemic amongst youth worldwide…what ministers to people most is the transparency, the honesty I share in the struggle.” After quickly reading half of the book, one twenty-year old gasped, “Oh my God, she’s telling it like it is!” The truth that people know sets them free. Can’t Touch This is anointed – it breaks the curse of shame & births a sexual identity “In Christ” amongst today’s generation.

Dominique states: “Many people live defeated lives in this area and are thus, susceptible to disease and emotional turmoil and despair. When we don’t know the purpose or value of something we violate it. This lack of knowledge has produced an identity crisis in our society.”

Can’t Touch This is so relatable that one will feel like their having a heart to heart conversation with their best friend. You will laugh, cry, pause, and reflect upon how awesome God is when you yield unto Him and allow Him to do things “His Way.”

This autobiography is not merely a story of one’s life, it is a book of values, lessons learned – a book of wisdom and substance that will shock, inspire, and provoke the reader to trust God’s love and faithfulness to see them through any circumstance in life. Individuals, groups and youth fellowships that incorporate this work in their daily readings or book clubs are sure to be blessed.
