The Truth About Sex

In a culture permeated by sex and sexual innuendos, at nearly every turn people are bombarded with the message that sex is just a basic bodily function, as irresistible and harmless as satisfying one's hunger and thirst. Even within the church, many don't see anything wrong with either heterosexual or homosexual experimentation outside of marriage, as long as it occurs with mutual consent.

Those who do believe that sex is a beautiful experience to be treasured and protected can't always explain why. Parents who warn their children against sexual experimentation often can't give them reasons strong enough to counteract the messages of the world. A promise to wait for sex doesn't provide the power to resist temptation; a person needs to know why saying no is truly the best decision-and this book offers reasons straight from the One who designed sex in the first place. In this revealing and thorough examination of the subject, trusted author and Bible teacher Kay Arthur guides readers to discover for themselves the truth about sex.
