Questions you can’t ask your mama about sex

QUESTIONS YOU CAN’T ASK YOUR MAMA ABOUT SEX
By Craig Gross & Mike Foster; Invert Books, 2005, 128 pp., $9.99, http://www.InvertBooks.com

They aren’t kidding with the title! Wow! There are questions about stuff I didn’t even know about! At first I was a little put off by the style of the book; it literally is just questions and answers. But after a few pages it really started to grow on me, and by the end of the first chapter I was really wishing this book had been around when I was a teenage guy wanting answers but too afraid to ask. And that’s the beauty of this book – the questions are real! They come from visitors to Craig and Mike’s famous XXXChurch website, and the answers are solidly based in scripture. There is a flow to the book, with the questions being grouped into different topics covering the likes of sex, porn, lust, masturbation, addiction and more. The writing won’t win any awards, but I couldn’t put it down. In a market crowded with books on sex and lust, this one stands out.

This review, by me, originally appeared in the Journal of Student Ministries.

    Maybe something good to keep around as a parent for the kids when they are old enough?

    Nicole – yeah, I think so. It's best for parents to have conversations with their kids, but this is a great resource to let a teenager read as well. I know I wouldn't have wanted to ask my parents some of the questions in there, but was wondering. Kids will find answers – I'd rather they get them from something like this than other teens or MTV. : )
