This review is from: Black Christian Singles Guide to Dating and Sexuality, The (Paperback)
Every young person - or anyone who was never taught about "good" sex" from their parents - should read this book! I'm 33, and I really wish someone had given this to me when I was 16. Would have saved me a lot of heartache! The author is very good at showing you what sex is about and why it's best shared in the context of marriage. He opens this Scriptures to you, but also shows you the advantages from a realistic vantage point as well. A must read!!!!

Excellent book for African-American youth,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Christian Singles Guide to Dating and Sexuality, The (Paperback)
I though the book was very thought-provoking and offered some Godly, practical advice in a downt-to-earth language that youth will understand and not feel "preached to". I plan on giving each of my college-bound nieces a copy.
