I am always looking for Biblical resources to teach my kids about life, relationships, and everything in between — like sex. I also love sharing resources with you when I find an excellent one! This new title called The Talk: Relationships is 11 lessons to give kids a greater understanding of Biblical sexuality. It is written for ages 11-14. I admit that this is a hard topic for me to discuss with my kids. So, if you’re like me, this might be a helpful resource for you, too!
This product is launching TODAY and is on sale for $9 in digital format. (Regular price for the digital book will be $11.95.) You can also purchase the hardback copy on Amazon here!
Luke and Trisha Gilkerson are the authors of this new resource and they also have other materials that I have used in the past, too.

My kids (age 14-16) already read similar books and know the basics of what sex is, plus we have verbally told them… wondering if this book would be too elementary for them or not? I’m looking for a book that tackles the temptation issue in a positive, not shaming, way.
