Description
A Guide to Growing Up is an engaging, clear, and helpful guide for young people that shines God's light into the topics of puberty, bodies and sex.
It is profoundly positive; about sex, about self, about faith, about relationships, love, boundaries, pleasure, choices - about all the sorts of things that could possibly matter when it comes to growing up.
Full of distinctive illustrations that grab the attention, conversations with young people and detailed chapters on hot topics, such as masturbation and same-sex attraction; A Guide to Growing Up is an invaluable tool to support parents in talking to their children, and an essential guide in any young person's journey - a guide they can go back to time and again.

This was something completely different to anything I've ever read before. The main reason I requested this was my own personal curiousness after seeing just the 'A Guide to Growing Up' part of the title and I wanted to see what this author had to say. Only later did I see the part about God and I was intrigued. As someone who doesn't believe in God it was cool to see how someone in God thinks when it comes to the topics mentioned in these which range from Puberty, STI's, bullying, accepting and taking care of our bodies, how babies are made as well as a bunch of other stuff. There are also illustrations throughout this and there are a few mildly graphic drawings of the genital areas in case that's something your not comfortable with.
So yes. This was a very new bit of reading material for me and I was intrigued when it came to reading these topics previously mentioned by someone with a different perspective and beliefs then me and I do believe this book could help kids understand whats happening with their bodies and help them figure out their own opinions on the topics this book covers.

This is a self help book which is going to help a boy or a girl who will be facing some physical and menatal change while growing up. This book deals with how to handle peer pressure and body shaming. I think it is a must read for all would be teens ad teenagers in order to undrestand their body and mind better.
