As the mom of an almost teenager, I’m always on the lookout for books that will help us have the important conversations. This book addresses to lies regarding dating, waiting and God’s purity plan. Each chapter starts with a story from the author that ties to the lie. Then she shares other peoples’ stories. People who’ve been in all kids of places. Some who waited, some who thought they waited, others who wish they’d waited. Each chapter ends with a fun quiz and other ways to apply what you think based on what you read.
What I like about this book is it is one more opportunity for teens and young adults to pre-think their choices. Life is hard, physical intimacy is tempting. That’s why thinking and deciding in advance is so critical. This book is a great tool to come alongside a bunch of sisters, learn from their experience, and then make a decision on your own.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Truth About Sex and Waiting … Uncovered Purity.
Sex. Boys. Waiting. There’s something about those words that makes everything complex in a heartbeat, and raises more questions than answers. Is there something wrong with me if I don’t kiss a boy after a date? Or am I doomed if I DID? What if waiting is just a one-way trip to life as a crazy cat woman? And what if I tend to, um, think about a certain boy in a certain way? It seems that the lady at church and your friends have two very different opinions on the subject. And ‘Your Budding Womanhood: Staying a Beautiful Flower for Jesus’ just isn’t cutting it. Bekah Hamrick Martin knows the waiting game isn’t easy or straight-forward. InThe Bare Naked Truth, she lays everything on the table—including some embarrassing moments—as she explores the honest, naked truth behind what God means by purity. With additional entries from popular authors, you’ll see the bare naked approach to waiting isn’t always easy, but it’s worth the risk.
