A Guide to Growing Up aims to remove the embarrassment that can surround issues around our sexuality and instead shines God's light onto them.

It explains how amazing our bodies are, especially with regard to our sexual organs and it places a very high value on sex, talking about how wonderful it is and why it is God's ideal for sex to be enjoyed within a loving marriage. The book is full of cutting-edge illustrations to grab the attention and includes interviews with young people and detailed chapters on some of the hot topics, including masturbation and same-sex attraction.

This is an invaluable tool to support parents in talking to their children about these issues, as well as a fantastic guide for young people that they can refer to throughout their adolescence.

    Cannot recommend this book more highly. Engagingly written, this is a refreshingly body-positive, God-centred and down-to-earth resource for teenagers and their parents. It's brimming with quotes and questions from young teens and Sarah Smith doesn't shy away from some of the more tricky subjects - these are tackled with sensitivity and grace. I particularly loved the illustrations - detailed, humorous and often poignant, they really bring the book alive. An essential guide for any parent wanting to have honest, positive conversations with their children about body changes, intimacy and growing up.
