In twenty-six short topical chapters, teens and young adults share their questions and real-life experiences about sexual relationships. Their questions range from "How far is too far?" to "What's wrong with cohabitation?" Two questions posed by many people of all ages both within and outside the Church are also treated: "Chastity sounds nice, but is it practical?" and "What do the Bible and celibate men know about sex anyway?" Great Sex Through Chastity promises substance, and the reader is not disappointed. The responses to these and other questions include practical advice given by both single and married, people, and reflect the Church's understanding of sexuality and the value of chastity. Hope also given to those who may want to reaffirm their virginity. Teens will find Great Sex Through Chastity: A Teen Guide to Real Love and Deep Passion a readable and informative book, and their parents and teachers, particularly catechists and DREs, will find it an invaluable resource.
