Most parents dread talking about sex with their children. Anne Marie Miller loves giving “the talk.” As she has shared her personal story and talked about God’s gift of sex with almost half a million young people, she’s noticed some disturbing patterns:
- Google is how kids learn about sex
- Kids are learning about sex and viewing pornography earlier than parents think
- The sexually abused often don’t tell anyone for fear of getting in trouble
- Sexual messages are being consumed daily through mainstream and social media
- Most parents think their child is the exception
In this immensely practical and well-researched book, Anne:
-
Equips parents to have meaningful and age-appropriate conversations with their children about sex, pornography, and sexual abuse.
-
Advises parents on how to keep the lines of communication open so that their children know they can trust them with their fears, struggles, and mistakes.
-
Offers hope to worried parents that their children can grow up with a healthy biblical view of sex as a gift from God.
Instead of sweeping this topic under the rug, Miller wants to change the narrative by…
Educating, Encouraging and Equipping Parents
In Five Things Every Parent Needs to Know About their Kids and Sex, readers will discover
- An easy-to-understand introduction to what the Bible says about the purpose of sex (hint: it’s awesome)

- How the media plays a role in how we develop our sexual worldview (and how to talk about it).
