5.0 out of 5 stars ISBN 1572296569 has CDs!, February 14, 2008

This review is from: Passport2Purity (Book & CD Set) (Paperback)

Haven't used this material yet but just wanted to be helpful since Amazon customer service couldn't tell me whether this kit has tapes or CDs. ISBN 1572296569 is the kit with CDs, even though the description mentions tapes (and notes that the description is for a different edition).

This review is from: Passport2Purity (Book & CD Set) (Paperback)

I saw a lot of parents review this product for girls and I would like to add that it is good for boys too! My husband used it with our twin boys. He thought they would think it was lame and embarrassing, but they did not. They enjoyed the CDs, the workbook, the projects and especially the time away with my husband! We did opt not to do the last two sections of the CDs and workbook. We have some very conservative ideas about purity and dating and felt that the section on "drawing a line" gave ideas that didn't need to be discussed and the chapter on dating doesn't fit into our view of an appropriate relationship between a boy and a girl in the teen years. However, we did address these issues with our own material, but used the projects from the lessons, because they fit prefectly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent weekend with my daughter!, June 3, 2007

By 

Lynn Roston "Lynn" (Altadena, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Passport2Purity (Book & CD Set) (Paperback)

I followed the steps in the book and I took my 12 year old daughter on an unforgettable and wonderful weekend. We laughed and we talked as we listened to the tapes and followed along in the books. We went to a spa for an afternoon and my gift to her was a music box with tiny framed photos of myself and her dad inside. She got a bit tearful as we were finishing up and I know the weekend left a positive and profound impression on her. I will be taking my next daughter this summer for her passport-to-purity weekend. I recommend this to every parent!
