  Sex Matters (Reprinted)

  $5.99

  The Unedited Truth About Sex
  *Is hooking up really wrong?
  *What about living together if you fall in love?
  *If the Bible bans sex before marriage . . . is everything else fair game?
  *What about same-sex relationships? Since when does God deny any kind of true love?

  Great questions . . . but who has the answers?

  Our culture creates a lot of confusion about sex. Honestly, sometimes it’s difficult to know who’s telling the truth. On one hand, when we read our Bibles or go to church, we hear how God’s design is to wait for sex and save that kind of intimacy for marriage. But on the other hand, when we go to school, turn on the TV, or listen to many of the songs on our favorite playlists . . . they say quite the opposite. Naturally, this makes many of us wonder.Who’s right? Sex seems fun. How can something so natural be off-limits?

  In Sex Matters, Jonathan McKee tackles all of these questions, giving you the frank, unvarnished truth about sex–regardless how awkward or embarrassing.

  More Than Just The Talk (Reprinted)

  $18.82

  In a sex-saturated culture where kids are exposed to nearly 14,000 sexual references per year on television, and 70 percent of teenagers have encountered pornography on the Internet, parents can’t rely on the traditional one-time “sex talk” that their own parents muddled through. Kids need to know that it’s natural to be curious about sex and that their parents are the most reliable source of information. Otherwise, their friends and smartphones will be more than willing to give answers that are likely to lead them down the path to sin and heartache.

  Jonathan McKee shows parents how to move beyond the initial awkwardness of this subject into an ongoing conversation with their kids about God’s amazing gift of sex. He equips them to engage in open conversations about dating, temptation, porn, and purity. Parents will find answers to the tough questions most people avoid and relevant Scripture regarding sexual issues. When parents provide the honest answers their kids are longing for, they can become the ones their kids turn to with their questions about this critical topic.
