Rating: Summary: Excellent! Very Helpful Review: This book was an answer to prayer for me and my husband. It has wonderful guidelines for dating that helped us establish rules for our children that we all can live with. It gives practical down to earth information that our sons and daughters need to know about the opposite sex. I am very thankful that I bought this book before I read the negative reviews other people had written. If your are looking for help to get you through the dating years of your children with wisdom, I highly recommend this book. As a matter of fact I recommend it to all my friends who have children, young or old.
Rating: Summary: Bullplop! Review: This book was hilarious! If you're looking for a good laugh I wholeheartedly recommend it. These people sure got the Religious Right's act down pat! My favorite part was when they referred to menarche as "a girl's first painful female cramps". Man, that's killer!
Rating: Summary: A big help! Review: This is an excellent book to help parents put the act in its Christianperspective. I appreciated that unhealthy practices are labeled as such. TheLaHayes are very clear, yet modest writers. Bless them!
Rating: Summary: As a Christian bishop I find this book very offensive Review: Well -- aside from the fact that narrowly-held opinion is presented as fact, while 150 years worth of medical, psychological, sociological, and pastoral/theological knowledge are dismissed out of hand, this book is right on target. Oy, vey!The authors are moderately-successful writers of fiction, and their fiction career apparently continues with this work [pretending to be an original contribution to the field of sexuality education]. On the bright side, people who attempt to follow the practices and teaching of this book *will* guarantee job security for me and my fellow pastoral counselors. For many, many years to come, unfortunately. Seriously, folks, the suspension of rational thought required to believe the material presented here is staggering. If you don't have a clear idea on how to approach your kids about sexuality, look toward an author with some clinical background (yet no overt religious axe to grind), like Chrystal DeFreitas, Lynn Leight, or Sol Gordon. Any of these authors' works on children's sexuality could run circles around this embarrassing book.
