Summary
Nearly every parent struggles with tough questions dealing with the issues of adolescent and teen sexuality. How should parents talk about sex in their homes? How young should children be taught about sex? What should parents allow their teenagers to hear and see? How do parents provide Christian resistance to a permissive sexual culture? "Decent Exposure" answers these and other important questions with specific answers. As a parent living in this sexually indiscriminate culture, this could be the most important book you ever read. -- Publisher (back cover)
