Alive to God - Good Advice on Sex, Dating and Discipleship for Young Christians - Paperback

A group of young campers sat around in a large tent. "We have a lot of questions," they said, "and many of them are about sex and marriage; not everyone is prepared to talk about these subjects; will you help us?" Their camp leader was young enough to remember his own teenage years and he wasn't afraid to face the issues. "Sure I will," he said, "provided you're willing to accept the answers the Bible gives." So they got started. Questions flowed thick and fast. "How can you be sure of God's guidance when you're looking for a husband or a wife?" "If you take a girl out, is it right to kiss?" "What about petting? Is it all OK for a Christian?"

"I have a terrible job controlling my thoughts - can you help me?" "Does the Bible say anything about abortion?" Darkness fell and they were still going. Someone went for a lamp. There was so much to talk about. Most young people feel the same, and the questions are urgent, demanding an answer. For this reason it was decided that something should be written, dealing frankly with the problems which face young people (though older people are not exempt) in today's world. They are good questions and it's right that they should be asked. It's equally right that they should be answered, and thankfully the Bible has the answers.
