Reviews

[Debbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was used to teach my child’s seventh and eighth grade sexual education class in private school. I decided to read it before to confirm that I wanted my child to participate in the class. I found the book extremely informative and a great resource for teaching about sexual integrity. This book promotes having an integrity code where you save yourself for marriage. It gives a beautiful Christian perspective of being made in Gods image and the importance of families. It talks about the beauty of our bodies and respecting and taking care of them. It also goes into important topics like choosing correct friends, respecting the opposite sex, refraining from alcohol and drug abuse. It goes in depth on the destructiveness of pornography. The book provided great resources and ways to help if someone experiences pornography, abuse, confusion, or other issues with sexuality. The author was great af making an awkward topic easy to digest for both youth and parents.

Great resource written for teens that gives a biblical foundation for their sexuality- not just out of morality but out of a pursuit for holiness. Relatable, relevant and written with a teen in mind.
