How to Teach God's Good Design for Marriage, Sex, Purity, and Dating
Written by Josh Mulvihill
Your children will make few decisions more important than their decision to marry. But they must make other choices before then--decisions about purity, dating, and their roles as men and women. Are they prepared? In this highly practical guide, Joshua Mulvihill lays out a biblically grounded plan for preparing young children for later challenges. Our culture is zealous in reaching children with its own take on sex and marriage, but shouldn't we be able to talk about these things and their place in God's larger narrative? Parents, grandparents, and others in the church will learn how to bring the truth home by starting the conversation with their children early--and returning to it often.
Recommendation
Parents, if you're wondering about how to talk to your kids about sex, you'll not find a better resource than this book. Josh Mulvihill's approach is straight from the Bible, full of great insight and advice, and incredibly helpful. If you think it's not time for 'the talk' yet, better think again; Josh's argument for a childhood-long approach to teaching your child about sex and marriage will change your mind and at the same time equip you for many talks. You will want to read this book, then put it somewhere handy so you can refer to it again and again.--Larry Fowler, Founder, The Legacy Coalition
With Preparing Children for Marriage, Josh Mulvihill has given parents an invaluable resource to help them present a biblical worldview of sexuality, marriage, and dating to their children. This book is practical, biblical, and chock full of great discussion-starting questions. Someone is going to shape your children's views on these topics. Take my advice, get this book and allow Josh to help you be the one to disciple your children in these critical areas.--Marty Machowski, Family Life Pastor, Covenant Fellowship Church, Glen Mills, Pennsylvania; Author, The Ology
Wow! What a great book that will empower parents to have early and often discussions with their children about love, sex, and marriage. Josh Mulvihill has created a biblical tool that parents can use to help their kids challenge the worldly normal that they are exposed to regularly. I will regularly commend this book to all parents and encourage them to use the Courageous Conversation sections at the end of each chapter to engage their kids in specific conversations to embed convictions in their hearts.--Scott Turansky, Cofounder, National Center for Biblical Parenting
Paperback, 256 pages, notes, questions for further study and discussion
