Review posted on Amazon.com:"I wish I had a copy of this book when I was growing up. It has been required reading for all my children as they enter adolescence. It is a resource that can and does make a difference. It gives them the ammo and sound reasoning they need to go against the tide. Do your children a favor and get this book!"

Every Young Man's Battle: Strategies for Victory in the Real World of Sexual Temptation
Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker, Mike Yorkey (WaterBrook Press, 2002)

From Amazon.com: "In this world you’re surrounded by sexual images that open the door to temptation. They’re everywhere – on TV, billboards, magazines, music, the Internet – and so easy to access that it sometimes feels impossible to escape their clutches. Yet God expects his children to be sexually pure. So how can you survive the relentless battle against temptation? Here’s powerful ammunition.

Steve Arterburn and Fred Stoeker, the authors of the hard-hitting best-seller Every Man’s Battle, now focus on the temptations young single Christian men face every day – and they offer workable, biblical strategies for achieving sexual purity."

Real Sex: The Naked Truth About Chastity
Lauren F. Winner (Brazos Press, 2005)
 
From Publishers Weekly: "Winner, author of the critically acclaimed memoir Girl Meets God, weaves an intriguing tapestry from sociological, autobiographical, pastoral and historical threads. She balances a journalistic report of how difficult chastity is for American Christians; a personal account of how she and her friends have approached premarital and marital sex; a survey of what the Bible, pastors, and good Christian books say about the topic; and an overview of how chastity has been understood throughout Christian history.

The candor with which Winner writes about sex may alarm some Christian readers, but those who follow her arguments to their conclusions will find themselves rewarded with fresh insights about an overdiscussed but still deeply entrenched problem among Christians."
