5.0 out of 5 stars Best on the subject, May 12, 2006

Buying "Sex, Love and You: Making the Right Decision" is making the right decision for those who want to know why they should keep themselves pure for their future wife or husband. My wife was hooked reading the introduction and read the book straight through. We'll be using it with our kids. I'm amazed a book this good on this subject isn't better known. If you are familiar with Tom Lickona's "character" books you'll know what a reservoir of wisdom he is. Same thing with this book which is well written, full of interesting stories and comments from kids who have been there, and completely free of hype.

This review is from: Sex, Love and You: Making the Right Decision (Paperback)

The Lickonas and Dr. Boudreau hit the nail right on the head in this book. They address topics from a whole person point of view- medically, emotionally, & spiritually. The authors address common questions of teens and gives the facts as well as suggestions on how to live a chaste life. This is the best book on the subject I've read so far.

It presents the info. in a straight-forward manner and presents it in a non-judgemental way so if a person has strayed too far, suggestions are given on how to get back on track to leading a chaste life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just another irrelvant abstinence book intended for today's teenagers, August 12, 2006

This review is from: Sex, Love and You: Making the Right Decision (Paperback)

Most teenagers, Catholic or not, will not get into books such as this and the simlar Sex and the Teenager book from the same publisher. The reason is that these moralistic books are irrelevant to the reality that most teenagers have and enjoy a variety of sex acts. This book is unhealthy and irresponsible in its message. Sex is part of all of us. We need to embrace it with commonsense, not see it as something to wait for.
