Every parent or person working with youth longs for those children in their sphere of influence to flourish; we are all well aware that there is a conversation that is absolutely essential to flourishing. With fear and uncertainty, we make veiled references to “the talk” with our children that looms in our future, the one about the birds and the bees, about how babies are made, about sex. We are desperate to find a compelling yet practical approach to this challenge and to discover THE conversation.BEFORE THE SEX TALK provides parents and mentors with short chapters unpacking themes from Theology of the Body as well as applications that completely transform the way faith-based talks usually address these topics, if they have addressed them at all.Each chapter is followed by a related scripturediscussion for younger and older childrenactivities, and aprayer to shareBEFORE THE Sex Talk is a resource for those who:find the teaching of Theology of the Body to be beautiful and compelling, and want to further explorehave a felt need to find an approach for understanding the body, sex, and relationships that resonates more deeply than the one they personally experienced in church settinghave tried to talk with kids on these subjects in a conventional way and felt that it felt flatdesire to go back and rebuild the foundations for “the sex talk” and the questions that followI met "the Lindas" when they traveled to Pennsylvania to take one of my courses at the Theology of the Body Institute. I'm delighted to hear that they are bringing what they've learned into the evangelical world. This good news is so desperately needed in our culture, one that is so confused about the body, sex, and marriage. BEFORE THE SEX TALK is a practical tool that will help equip parents and mentors to cast a biblical vision of sex - not just the moral vision, but the splendor of the divine story our bodies tell - that will profoundly impact the hearts and minds of the children they influence.
