91 percent of teens ages 15 to 17 that have not had sex said they were influenced by what their parents have taught them about sex(1).

That’s an impressive statistic, but what if we don’t feel equipped to instill abstinence in our kids? Actually, that makes us part of a large majority! Research proves nine out of ten parents don’t know what to say, how to say it, or when to start talking to their kids about sex(2).

Faced with the alarming reality that around 50% of our nation’s high school students are sexually active(3), parents are desperately seeking effective ways to instill abstinence in their children—unfortunately many commonly practiced methods prove ineffective over time.

Choosing to Wait: A Guide to Inspiring Abstinence gives readers a refreshing alternative approach for rearing sexually pure kids. The key to success lies in parents’ ability to go beyond forcing standards on their kids and effectively cultivate standards in their kids! Based on Biblical principles, parents will find solid strategies to motivate and inspire their children so that they, in turn, desire abstinence for themselves, which is essential for long-term success.
