This is an important subject that many parents do not think about until the time is at hand. As Christians, we must prepare our children early for the future they will face, including dating and the covenant of marriage. The culture we live in is saturated with sex and unholy unions. I found many issues in this book to be shocking and appalling. Not the subject matter itself, but rather the facts and figures regarding society and even the curriculum used in public schools. This short book by pastor Josh Mulvihill is saturated with scripture. It provides Biblical strategies for talking to your children and preparing them to lead a wholesome Christian life based on Biblical truths in the face of the bedlam they are surrounded by.

This book is divided into four parts:
1. Getting Started - Discusses what the Bible teaches to young people at what ages.

2. Marriage - Focuses on teaching children the biblical principles of marriage. Each chapter ends with a series of Bible study questions for generating discussion.

3. Sex and Purity - Demonstrates how to teach a child about sex from a biblical perspective and teaches parents how to have “the talk” with their children using Proverbs 5. The section also addresses how a young person can remain sexually pure in a hypersexual culture.

4. Dating - Helps parents and children to think about dating in a biblical and balanced way.

The appendix contains sections for further consideration. Appendic A is aimed specifically at grandparents and helping them understand their role is educating their grandchildren. Appendix B is one of the lessons the author teaches kindergarteners through sixth graders on marriage based on Proverbs 5.

I highly recommend this book to parents to use as a Biblical guide for preparing their children for marriage. This would also be a useful resource for pastors, counselors, and Christian educators. I received this as a free ARC from P&R Publishing on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
