Sex, Lies, and High School [Paperback]

Book Description

Publication Date: August 25, 2006

Teenagers in today's world are caught in the middle of an all-out war for their souls. Their parents are losing, mainly because they are not well prepared for battle. No one is in a better position to protect these children than their parents, but they must know the weapons of the enemy before they can successfully win the battle.

Sex, Lies, and High School encourages parents to persevere in fighting for their children's souls by informing parents about the influences that are pressing on their children (such as the prom, spring break, media icons, sex education, clothing, STDs, and dating).

This book also shows them how to spot signs of trouble in their children, educating them in how to discuss these things openly with their children, and offering alternatives to the negative and harmful influences of our culture.

More About the Author

I was born and reared just outside of Savannah, Georgia. Yeah, I have a southern accent. It gets a little more southern every time I cross the Florida/Georgia state line.

If I had all the time in the world, I'd probably lie on the sofa all day and watch old movies. I usually have to get sick for something even close to that happening.

I can quote entirely too many lines from Pretty Woman (You do? You think I've got potential?). In fact, I quote lines from movies and songs so often that most people are unaware of what I'm doing. I may or may not have offended some folks. If I have...I'm sorry.

I'm an ex-nurse and a seminary graduate. I hated nursing but love God with a passion and can hardly get through a conversation without talking about our relationship! I think the Old Testament is totally FUN to read (I mean, HOW much stuff can one clan of people get in to?) and the New Testament draws me closer to Heaven. Yeah!

I'm married even though my hubby had to have his wedding band cut off due to an infected spider bite. The nurse said either that or the finger would fall off. I was going for the second option, but was alone in that. :) Now he wears it on his right hand. I can live with that. We have kids and grandkids and two absolutely adorable dogs, Hope and Poodar.

I'm rarely still and I sleep very little.

Life is good.

This review is from: Sex, Lies, and High School (Paperback)

I am about half way through this book. To be honest I am having a hard time staying focused while reading. It covers issues that to me are common knowledge. There are a few good points. It is easy to tell the book was written by to females. I am raising 3 teen boys & the book is giving more pointers about how girls should dress & act. There are some mentions about how boys respond to girls. But early in the book, there are several pages about how boys should respect girls when they are going through their teens. I believe we should all respect each other. I almost quit reading the book at that point, but am trying to stick with it. I work with a youth group at church & hope to gain some perspective from a teen girl's point of view. Because my boys are older teens & I have already lived a lot of what the book talks about may be why I feel it is more common knowledge. But all in all if you are raising teen daughters it is probably a good book for you. If you are raising boys, you may want to research another book.
