"God's beautiful design for sex has been targeted for destruction. Our culture denies it, abuses it, twists it, and demeans it. That's why this updated volume by Mama Bear Apologetics is such a gift. It deals with the 'ick' of our culture's distorted perspective on sex by highlighting God's goodness. It's honest yet gracious. Logical yet compassionate. Straight-shooting yet laugh-out-loud funny. By the end of each fast-paced chapter, you'll know Scripture, the facts, and how to talk about each tough subject in a God-honoring, natural way."
