I bought this book as a gift for a teenage girl. It said, "Guarding your mind, heart and body in a sex-saturated world," and that sounded perfect. Before giving it to her, I flipped through the pages and read a little bit here and there. To my astonishment, it went WAY beyond telling young women how important is is to live their lives in a Christian fashion. There was a section of the book on the evils of masturbation. I expected the book to contain reasons why sexual purity was important, ideas and tips for protecting virginity, etc... Needless to say, I'm glad I read this before I gave it as a gift -- I would have been SO embarrassed. I've chosen another, less explicit book instead.Maybe this book would be better for an older teen... But if you're considering this as a gift, please take the time to read it and decide if you feel comfortable with the text before you give it away.
