This review is from: Accept Nothing Less: God's Best for Your Body, Mind, and Heart (Pure Foundations) (Kindle Edition)

This book is an easy read and a helpful tool for parenting today's teenager through a Christian perspective. I made my daughter read this book before I would allow her to start dating. It's very useful information that should be shared with every teenager. Our children are subjected to so many social influences that do not value staying pure for their spouse and it's extremely harmful to their future relationships/marriage. This book helps put it all in perspective. It helps a teenager to feel its good to respect themselves and love themselves enough to put God first in their relationships with the opposite sex.
