I was hoping to use this as a read a loud for my 13 and 16 year old. I find it hard to read it as such. I guess it was meant for the parent to read alone. tons of facts. very good. will skip over some statistics and read what I think my teens need to know.good book though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexual Purity Needed Today, January 4, 2005

By

This review is from: Why True Love Waits: The Definitive Book on How to Help Your Kids Resist Sexual Pressure (Paperback)

In an age where Sodom and Gomorrah proportions of sexual sins abound, one has to wonder if God has Sodom and Gomorrah type punishment in store. The author writes what is needed for today. In an age when clergy are afraid to preach sexual purity in churches, this book is like a lone voice of God's prophecy in the wilderness. This book is a must read for all who call themselves Christians.
