Mom: Don't have sex until you re married. Teen: Why? Mom: Because I said so! Got it? Teen: I guess.
And there you have it the typical, not-so-effective sex talk between parents and teens. If you re like most young people, you have important questions about sex but aren't sure where to look for answers. Why Wait? The Naked Truth About Sex and Abstinence is written specifically for young people and is designed to answer the most common and often controversial questions teens have about sex.
Laura B. Gallier, author of Choosing to Wait, has spent the last decade as a youth minister and adviser to teens and parents. She is the founder of a community youth outreach program called ANSWERS and Inspiring Abstinence, a para-church ministry committed to equipping parents and empowering young people to understand and embrace God s plan for sexual purity. Laura and her husband Patrick live in Cypress, Texas.
