I loved this book. I had no idea how to go about talking with my 8 year old son about sex, but now I do. And I realize that I should have already started long ago. I love that the authors' deep Christian convictions come across on every page. Yet, I don't agree with everything they recommend -- like immediately giving a candid answer to a question your child asks you about sex, even in a public place. I plan on telling my son that I will answer that question as soon as we get home (or somewhere else private) since it has to do with people's "private parts".After reading this book, I skimmed through another book on the subject by another Christian author, but I did not pick up those same convictions from that author. However, that other book had a section on masturbation and on "Am I Gay", and I realized I would have liked to have read the McDowells' take on these issues. Anyway, overall, I highly recommend this book.
