5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for parents and African American youth., January 21, 1999

By A Customer

This is a great book for parents to use to help guide their youth into relationships. Young people will relate to many of the issues that Jackson covers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for African-American youth, August 13, 2001

By A Customer

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.

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!!!!
