This month's 'web page in print' deals with the ever-sensitive issue of teaching Christian young people about relationships and sex.
There is no shortage of writers on this subject willing to add their wisdom to the melting pot. Sadly, there is little quality material for young people, with good biblical content. Some books, by well-known Christians, don't mention the Bible at all, although they may be very frank.
Finding resources
If you are searching for some decent material I can help narrow the search a little. 'Distinctives' by Vaughn Roberts and 'Hanging in There' by John Dickson have chapters on sex and relationships. Both make good use of the Bible and could provide a good starting point for planning a meeting. A book that is aimed at students but is useful for older teenagers is 'Relationships Revolution' by Nigel Pollock. 'God, Sex and Marriage' by John Richardson remains a very balanced overview of the whole subject.
