The Gift of Sexuality
Based on Christian Community’s extensive research on teenage sexuality, this book contains factual information and clear guidance to help empower teenagers for the decisions they face about the care of their bodies, dating, sexuality, marriage, and parenting. This book can be used in a variety of ways: for private reading by teenagers; for reading by teens and discussion with their parents; and for group or retreat use.
This book includes a survey for teens to see what they already know about their bodies, sex, contraception, and marriage preparedness. It also includes a discussion of “sexuality,” including looking beyond physical acts. This book takes a look at health, including how teens feel about their bodies and appearance. Factual information on contraception, pregnancy, STDs, abortion, and how to protect against unwanted sex are included in the resource.
