The Gift of Sexuality - Adult Guide

The author of this book surveyed 5,819 teens across North America to learn how their faith affects their decision-making in dating, marriage, and sexuality. Based on that research and on visits with hundreds of teens, clergy, parents, and other caring adults, he wrote the book The Gift of Sexuality: Empowerment for Religious Teens to give religious youth the guidance they need in these important areas of life. This book can be used:

.By parents who are giving the companion book to their teens and want to have better conversations with them about sex.

.By clergy and youth workers who are giving the companion book to youth in the church and the community.

.By clergy and youth workers who are planning classes, retreats, or seminars for youth.

.By any adult who wants to better understand the values of religious teens and how to help them in their decisions.

In the research on which this book is based, the author learned that religious teens are involved in more intimate sexual activities than many clergy and parents have believed. The good news, however, is that their faith does make a difference in their lives and that they want their faith communities and their parents to give them better guidance on dating, marriage, and sexual decision-making.
