Book review

I read this book with my 12 year old daughter. What a blessing. It opened doors for discussion on topics that don't 'just come up'. I was pleased with the standard the book set for purity. Teens need to hear it is OK to say no and wait! The book also covered various everyday issues that teens face with peers, choices and their relation with God. Great book.

Great book!

I bought these for our youth group and they were great for introducing topics to kids in team with their parents and ministry. Several of the kids gave us the I knows, then they read this book and felt that they did need to work on some areas of their lives. The highs are the chapters written by different members of their family, so the kids see that kids are writing some chapters, and the parents others. Thanks David Rainey for a great resource and parenting/church tool.

Realistic and practical advice, if you don't want your kids overly self-centered pleasure seeking

This book is very good in being very frank about snares and traps that related to early teen dating. I don't want my girls date too early, because I don't want them get hurt. I do hope they respect God's design of this virgin psychology, that once lost, it can't be restored to the orignial sense, so why not heed all the warnings up front?

a great tool for preteens

The secular culture offers very little in the field of resisting temptations. This gem is a much needed, must read for preteens and their parents. Thank God for it!

Great Book

This book is an excellent tool to have in your library. It gives great insight and tools for lots of different teenage situations you will inevitably find yourself in. It was almost like reading a book about my teenage years :) I am finding it helpful. I only wish I lived right next door to Dennis and Barbara Rainey.
