by Bonnie Pue

In our rapidly changing culture, moms and dads know that they want to show up with answers about sex for their kids. It can be intimidating to even know where to begin, because this is about far more than a one-time conversation about how babies are made-we're talking about the things that high school sex-ed class forgot to mention.

In Awkward, Bonnie Pue guides parents to see the glory of God's original plan for human sexuality and the philosophies that converged to bring us where we are today. Thoroughly researched and practically accessible, this book brings insights to conversations

masculinity and femininity the design for marriage and family the dangers of porn culture gender identity and homosexuality the value of children and impact of abortion healthy dating relationships With a compassionate tone on even the most contentious topics, the author emphasizes the redemptive work that Jesus does in our broken world and the guidance He brings to our hearts and homes.

Wow!! This book is not just for parents!! I wish I had access to this when I was a young adult trying to figure out the push and pull of culture around the topic of sexuality and relationships. Bonnie shares personal stories, dives into the right context of Scripture and outlines the heart of Gods desire for all of us! What a breath of fresh air for any one of any age that wants to understand biblical sexuality, gender and relationship. A must read!
