Here is a book that every kid who is about to start middle school or junior high school should read. Whether or not kids want to know about all the stuff in this book, they are going to face it when they get to middle school or junior high school. Better to learn it here, in an awesome book that will teach the facts with grace than to learn it from the kids at school who will teach each other a whole lot of nonsense.Authors Dennis and Barbara Rainey teamed up with their-college-ages son and daughter (Samuel and Rebecca) to give the most conclusive Godly advice on friends, love, sex, faith, dating, and more I've ever seen. I wish with all my heart I'd have a book like this handed to me when I was eleven. If you're hesitant or afraid to start talking to your kids about this stuff, or if you're a teen who has a lot of questions, pick up a copy of this book. It's like having a friend who isn't afraid to tell you the truth. This is the best place to start. With the facts.
I wholeheartedly agree. This book covers so many important areas of growing up, and it does it in a complete, yet not over-the-top way. It is funny, yet real. I read it to my 12-year old daughter, and 10-year old son. During the "girls only" and "boys only" parts, we did separate reading times, so as not to embarrass them. When it came to the "hard" stuff for my to talk to them about, like sex, I thought I would have to "grit my teeth" and "go for it", but the sections were really well written so that it covered all the things I would want them to know about, without too much detail to cause embarrassment. Everything was written from a Biblical standpoint, but most of it came across as common sense and not threatening at all. In fact, after reading this book, both our kids have become more open to listening and accepting the boundaries we put in place for them, because they now understand, as the book points out, that we are doing this out of love to help them grow into mature, healthy adults, not to ruin their fun or their lives. It was nice, as a parent to hear someone else say the same things we'd been saying... but since it wasn't coming from us, the kids seemed more willing to listen. We really enjoyed this book, and I am so glad that I took the chance and bought it. I highly recommend it to anyone with pre-teens, or even teens for that matter... as the book points out, it is never too late to make a positive change in behavior.
I took my 10-year-old daughter away, just the 2 of us for an overnight at a hotel and we went through this whole book and all the questions at the end of the chapters. It is very well-done and she reacted well to it as well. All the information that is essential for your pre-teen to know put together in a wonderful, non-scary way that is easy to present as well as easy for the pre-teen to hear. Highly recommend this one!
This book is all the information from the passport to purity program. Nice to have if you want to review part or all of the program without going throught the CDs again.
Excellent book on puberty and the birds and bees. Written from a decisively Christian viewpoint, it is a great resource for preteens. My 6th grade daughter was beginning to hear many things at school and so we decided to sit down and read this together. I would read a chapter ahead of her, then she would read it and we would discuss. She loved the parts where they give personal stories relating to the material. It went through all the different parts of puberty, including sex, and put everything in a respectful, non-embarrassing way. My daughter really enjoyed the book and was thankful to walk through it together. I think some of the content would be a little over my 9-year-old's head, but it was perfect for my 11-year-old.
Bought this at the recommendation of a Christian counselor for my 12 year old. We are reading it together and it creates great conversation. She enjoys reading it and finds it as an easy read as well.
My husband and I were relieved that there is a book such as this. My son is on chapter 2, but my husband and I read thru it before handing it to him. We liked how all the topics are brought down to a teen's level. Of course we will still discuss the material with our son, but it's nice that he will read it first.
This book will help you and your teenager gain an understanding of God's will for their lives and give them a successful strategy to follow His plan during the difficult teenage years. Much of the book is written from the perspective of the author's son and daughter. They are living testimonies that what is outlined in the book is the best road to follow.The book is a short book and very easy to read. I believe the book's advice on puberty, sex and dating will make the conversation with your child much easier since the material to discuss is outlined in the book.Overall, this is a well organized and biblically based book that will help lead your teen to a happy and fulfilled life. It is definitely an indispensable resource with my family.
