I am highly impressed with the book. The author is really passionate about effective writing and making the difference. The book is relatable and highly recommended for individuals in a relationship or intending to enter into a relationship.

Latest Review: The BLACK BOTTOM by Theo Czuk

Post by Tosin Le »

It's an enlightening book! It's a call for parents to be social enough for their kids to be open with them, especially about pertinent things going on in their lives. The writing style of the author was simple. The non-fiction genre was incorporated into it. No part of this book detested me.

It's an educational book! Parents are urged to be approachable enough for their children to be honest with them, especially regarding important events occurring in their life. The author's writing was straightforward. There were elements of non-fiction in it. Nothing about this book offended me.

Post by Aloe Crane »

I don't know if I got the wrong book or something, but it feels like it. I compared the reviews here and the Amazon description with the book itself, and found that the book is just advertising for religious beliefs. Though I liked the parts that actually had to do with the content of the book, I felt like I was slugging through religious advertising for around seventy-five percent of the book. The writing style was fine, but I would've preferred the author not to feel as defensive about us non-religious folk, it put me off when they tried to blatantly convert me with sources and facts from at least thirty years ago. Again, I quite liked the author, but seeing opinions without facts just wretched my heart. This was clearly not much of a self help book for atheists, or anyone not of the same religion, as it is religious in its genre, which I didn't think would matter, initially. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, simply because I felt like it did not answer any of the questions it set out to do.

Wow, I read the book too, and I must say that you're right about the religious aspect. I'm a Christian, so I didn't find the book as religious as you described. Maybe the main audience for the book are Christians with bad sexual hygiene. But you should have guessed from the title, because it says "spiritual attitude."

This book is very helpful and insightful to those in a relationship or thinking about entering one. It did feel like the author wandered off topic with all the religious talk. The book aims to help parents answer the uncomfortable questions that kids ask.

I agree with you, partly, because spirituality does not equal religious, but yeah, I just wanted to give it a try! I guess it's just a matter of perspective, thank you for helping me understand that view. Can I ask what your opinion is in terms of if this book helped you with good sexual hygiene and develop or reinforce a good spiritual attitude?

Latest Review: Cynthia and Dan by Dorothy May Mercer

Post by PinkRose572 »

I would rate it five out of five stars. My opinion is that this book addresses critical and sensitive issues that concern children's personal growth and development as well as family bonding. For example, the necessity of parents being open to discuss their children's sexuality and sexual inclination is of invaluable.

I may say that it somewhat strengthened certain spiritual aspects of mine seemed to be lacking. Some of the sexual hygiene discussed in the book are widely known, so I found little help there. I agree with it's disdain for sex before marriage and promiscuity, as it somewhat gave a deeper explanations to the subjects.

A book that teaches parents how to talk about sex with their children in the right way. The author's writing style was conversational and the book contains a lot of lessons. The book cover also goes well with the book content. I would rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

Sexual health is extremely important and sadly very less travelled, I'm love how this book is more about teaching parents how to talk to kids about their sexual health.

Post by Maduabuchi Okwiya N Eze »

I think this book has a lot to teach to our contemporary youths and parents, especially in the aspect of sexuality, which is a complex reality we've got to face. For me, I will award it four out of five and I will easily recommend it to others.
