Más información sobre el libro

In his experience with teaching thousands of young men and women, Dr. Brent Barlow has seen the problems of human sexuality clinically and professionally and has concluded that "it matters how we teach sexual abstinence before marriage". Barlow offers parents and leaders of young people seventeen practical, down-to-earth strategies that will help make teaching sexual abstinence before marriage more effective, more motivating for youth, easier for the parents. He's used these strategies for years as a parent, a teacher, and a bishop in the Mormon church. Dr. Barlow also helps parents recognize common mistakes in teaching sexual abstinence before marriage -- mistakes that often drive a young person toward opposite behaviors. He warns about the power of the media on the choices young people make, the plague of sexually transmitted diseases, and special problems of engaged couples. Worth Waiting Sexual Abstinence Before Marriage also offers reassurance about repentance and reformation for those who have already become involved in illicit sexual behavior.
