Your kids know about sex. But what they’ve gathered from TV, other kids, or the internet doesn’t tell them everything or answer all of their questions. What’s the Big Deal? was written to help parents provide the answers to their 8-to-12-year-olds. This book explains the basic facts about sex and related issues such as:

  • Why God made adults so that they want to have sex
  • What God actually says in the Bible about sex and why it’s designed for marriage
  • The amazing changes ahead of you during puberty
  • How to respond when you feel sexual pressure from friends, TV shows, movies, and magazines

Your kids can read this book with you so you can discuss it together. This provides them the safe space to ask hard questions they might find embarrassing. The book will help kids understand what a beautiful and exciting gift from God sexuality is meant to be.

Now revised and updated with:

  • Separate chapters on puberty for boys and girls
  • A chapter on the dangers of pornography
  • An expanded age range (formerly 8 to 11, now 8 to 12)

This book explains the basic facts about sex and such related issues as:

  • Why God made adults so that they want to have sex
  • Why God designed sex to be shared only within marriage
  • What God actually says about sex in the Bible
  • The amazing changes ahead of you during puberty
  • How to respond when you feel sexual pressure from peers and media.

Comments from people who have used this material:

I appreciate the way this book blends medical information with a biblical theology of sexuality
- Tim Stafford, Senior Writer, Christianity Today

"As a Christian Parent raised in a family that never discussed sex, I found this book (and the series) to be a great starting point. It hits all the right topics in a way that communicates a Christian view without using guilt or sounding preachy. Parents should read it themselves, then pass it on to their child. Don't wait for your child to hit puberty before you start talking about this important subject."

"This entire series is great for introducing sex in a godly way from a young age. I have found them to be informative, honest and clear about the importance of sex being saved for marriage."
- Christine Phillips

Great Series. I read books one and two to our daughter and my husband read them to our son between the ages of 6 and 8. The third book we chose to read to our 8 yr. old girl and 10 yr. old girl and 10 year old boy together as a family. We each read our "part" in the story and they looked forward to reading each chapter. It was a wonderful family time which I believe resulted in a healthy understanding of the basic facts of life and took the "embarrassment" out of the subject. I recommend these to all my friends!

I have found these books to be tremendously helpful to our family when dealing with the subject of introducing sex to our daughters. The content in each book is right on target and easily grasped by our girls. The books use appropriate vocabulary geared to each age level. The illustrations are also tastefully rendered. The hand drawn pictures show just enough definition so children 'get the point' but not vividly drawn that kids 'only' zero in on the reality of the picture. I appreciate that greatly. Thank you Carolyn for an excellent book series. We will be reading book 3 soon and looking forward to it.
