Here is a book that every kid who is about to start middle school or junior high school should read. Whether or not kids want to know about all the stuff in this book, they are going to face it when they get to middle school or junior high school. Better to learn it here, in an awesome book that will teach the facts with grace than to learn it from the kids at school who will teach each other a whole lot of nonsense.
Authors Dennis and Barbara Rainey teamed up with their-college-ages son and daughter (Samuel and Rebecca) to give the most conclusive Godly advice on friends, love, sex, faith, dating, and more I've ever seen. I wish with all my heart I'd have a book like this handed to me when I was eleven. If you're hesitant or afraid to start talking to your kids about this stuff, or if you're a teen who has a lot of questions, pick up a copy of this book. It's like having a friend who isn't afraid to tell you the truth. This is the best place to start. With the facts.

I wholeheartedly agree. This book covers so many important areas of growing up, and it does it in a complete, yet not over-the-top way. It is funny, yet real. I read it to my 12-year old daughter, and 10-year old son. During the "girls only" and "boys only" parts, we did separate reading times, so as not to embarrass them. When it came to the "hard" stuff for my to talk to them about, like sex, I thought I would have to "grit my teeth" and "go for it", but the sections were really well written so that it covered all the things I would want them to know about, without too much detail to cause embarrassment. Everything was written from a Biblical standpoint, but most of it came across as common sense and not threatening at all. In fact, after reading this book, both our kids have become more open to listening and accepting the boundaries we put in place for them, because they now understand, as the book points out, that we are doing this out of love to help them grow into mature, healthy adults, not to ruin their fun or their lives. It was nice, as a parent to hear someone else say the same things we'd been saying... but since it wasn't coming from us, the kids seemed more willing to listen. We really enjoyed this book, and I am so glad that I took the chance and bought it. I highly recommend it to anyone with pre-teens, or even teens for that matter... as the book points out, it is never too late to make a positive change in behavior.
