There are no stupid questions when it comes to how a young man's body is changing. Dr. Walt Larimore takes 30 questions that young men often ask (or want to ask) and gives solid, Biblical responses to ease their minds and help them understand during a very confusing time in their lives.
The book begins with a note to parents, because this isn't a topic that parents just love to attack, and explains how to handle this difficult time. He offers two options for using the book 1) skim through the book and then give it to your son, if your son is mature enough to deal with the content, or 2) read and study the book with your son (especially dads). This provides opportunities for communication and bonding.
The book is written to the young man ten to thirteen years of age. There is a note of encouragement from the doctor and along with some appropriate scripture: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." I Timothy 4:12.
One chapter is devoted to each question but isn't overwhelming for the reader. Humorous black and white pictures are found in each chapter along with a short vignette or information, facts and, of course, scripture. Some of the questions addressed in the book are difficult and very matter-of-fact, so be sure your son is ready for the information being presented.
Although this period in a young man's life might be difficult, Dr. Larimore has done his best to make the transition to adulthood a bit easier with information and God's word for guidance. So, if you've been dreading the talk or aren't sure how to answer the myriad of questions young men face as they grow into men, let Dr. Larimore lend a hand. 187 pgs, s/c. ~ Donna
