Customer Reviews

very helpful

Although I may not be in agreement with everything written in this book, it has been like a friend helping me deal with the important task of training my children with healthy attitudes toward sex. It provides much information for all stages of a child's life about how to handle the subject. What especially stuck in my mind when talking with my teens, and that they themselves realized and brought up for discussion, was "The Law of Progression". And even though this book seems written primarily for a Christian audience, that didn't stop us from deriving much benefit in many other ways as well.

Good practical advice for believers

If you do not believe that adultry, fornication, and sexual fantasies about those other than a spouse are sins, then this book is not for you. If you think they may be sins, but you are not sure, this book is not for you [In that case, I recommend "Not Even a Hint" and "Every Young Man's Battle"]. This book is for those who already know these activities to be sin and want some practical advice on how to keep their children from falling into these sins. It is not heavily supported by scientific research, but is based on common sense observation by the authors, who do not hide their opinions.Of particular value are the sections on what girls and boys need to know about each other. For example, this book lets girls know what effect they have on boys when they do not dress modestly. Also a plus is that it covers children of all ages.

Offers truthful Biblical perspective

As God created sex to be performed only in the act of marriage, this book teaches clear Biblical principals. It offers a great timeline of when to speak to your kids about the changes that will occur in them and talks about the dangers than can lead to sexual sin. It is an excellent book for Christian parents who desire for their children to enjoy sex in the sanctity of marriage the way God intended.

Excellent! Very Helpful

This book was an answer to prayer for me and my husband. It has wonderful guidelines for dating that helped us establish rules for our children that we all can live with. It gives practical down to earth information that our sons and daughters need to know about the opposite sex. I am very thankful that I bought this book before I read the negative reviews other people had written. If your are looking for help to get you through the dating years of your children with wisdom, I highly recommend this book. As a matter of fact I recommend it to all my friends who have children, young or old.

Gives hope and guidance to the caring parent

For those who see that virtue is a gift from God and want to do all they can to help their children hold on to that gift this book is very helpful. It will guide you as you continue to keep the lines of communication open with your children as they mature. It is not just theory but practical.
