    St. James is an open supporter of teenage sexual abstinence, and has become an unofficial spokesperson for True Love Waits.

    • Transform Pre-Release with Unreleased Song "Vision" (2000)
    • Alive 2000 An unofficial bootleg from the Alive 2000 performance that has circulated among fans; also has been confused as an official release by some album download sites. The sound quality is inferior to the official live albums, but contains more of Rebecca's spoken interaction with the audience (including an abstinence message and her list of "five quick little things") than any official release. Should not be confused with the 2007 release aLive in Florida.
