MUST READ - Biblical Perspective of Sex and Relationships, Great Book For Late Teens
Format: Hardcover
This book gives a right on Biblical perspective of dating, relationships, sex and more. Every Christian parent should buy this for their older teenage kids. I bought this book for my 18 year old daughter. She took it to school and found out that several of her friends had heard about the author and were also reading it. Her boyfriend is reading it now too. The Q&A portion at the end of the book is so good.

We have a closer bond thanks to being prompted to think and share on the topics together.
Format: Hardcover
Only takes a few minutes each day. We do it in the morning, just before we go to work. It gives us a quiet moment to reflect and think on all kinds of concepts surrounding marriage and the core beliefs in the bible and our society.
