But if you don’t prepare them, who will?
{Book 1} The Talk: 7 Lessons to Introduce Your Child to Biblical Sexuality
$9.00 – $12.95
The thought of your precious child growing up and facing sexual choices and temptations isn’t always a pleasant thought. The thought of having to prepare your child for those choices also might make you cringe.
Christian parents are often confused about what to say and when to say it. The Talk is a series of 7 parent-child studies, all anchored in the Scriptures, that helps parents to talk meaningfully with children about sexuality.
This devotional will help you walk your child (6 to 10 years old) through concepts around basic human sexuality, the differences between boys and girls, how babies are made, and the importance of marriage.
Choose between full-color softcover or digital book.
“It’s a simple, user-friend guide to teaching your kids about a healthy view of biblical sexuality. Parents: Don’t waste time. Get a copy of Luke’s bible study and start teaching your kids today!” – Deepak Reju, President of the Biblical Counseling Coalition
This series of studies covers basic theological and biological concepts that children ages 6 to 10 can understand. Each study is anchored in a specific text of Scripture.
- Lesson 1 deals with the differences between men and women, giving children a simple understanding of their own bodies and the differences between male and female sexual organs.
- Lesson 2 discusses God’s command for the human race to multiply, giving children a basic understanding of sexual intercourse and how babies are conceived.
- Lesson 3 addresses the development of human life in the womb, giving children a picture of the wonder of how babies grow and are born.
- Lesson 4 deals with the intimacy that is created through sex, giving children an understanding of the goodness of sex in marriage and how it creates a strong bond between a man and a woman.
- Lesson 5 discusses the sin of adultery, giving children a biblical understanding of why it is wrong.
- Lesson 6 addresses the difficult subject of rape and sexual abuse, reminding children of the importance of talking to their parents about anyone who touches them in an inappropriate manner.
- Lesson 7 deals with the importance of honoring God with one’s body because God has bought us with a price.
Each lesson has an opening discussion topic, a Scripture reading, an explanation of the passage, questions to ask your children, and a prayer. Many lessons are also contain line drawings of male and female anatomy, egg and sperm, and images of how a baby develops in the womb.
What ages of children would benefit from this study?
The Talk was written for parents to read with children ages 6 to 10 years old. The study supplies elementary-age children with foundational truths about sexuality at a level they can understand.
This is only a guideline, of course. Are there 5-year-olds who can have an in-depth conversation with parents about sex? Yes. Should every child go through this study at 6 or 7 years old? No. Could a child of 11 or 12 who has never been taught this information benefit from this study. Yes.
“This publication has all the talking points you need. The introduction for parents alone is worth the read. Using these seven lessons will provide your children with a legacy of value in their present and future relationships.” – Ron DeHaas, Founder and CEO of Covenant Eyes

Straight out of the Word! Not watered down. Full of wisdom in the first part on how to deal with the awkardness we felt … And might still feel as parents! I wish my parents got hold of this book. If you don’t teach your children society will! It’s biblical. Practical and to be used as a family study. Open and honest. Easy to understand.

Loved the simplicity and truth in introducing my daughter to “The Talk” in a easy to follow format based on the Word of God.

This was great, straight forward and biblically based. I used it as a family study with our four boys as part of a homeschool curriculum. It made for some very good and deep conversation.

We have been looking for a book like this – we found it. We have been using it with our boys and it is excellent. We like how it is clear, biblical, discreet, appropriate. It makes it so much easier to talk and teach about this critical topic. Highly recommended.

Simple and easy to use – it gave just the right amount of information.

This is exactly what we were looking for in a resource for ‘the talk.’ It is easy to use, clear, Bible-based, & God-honoring. I like how the lessons give just enough information for younger children yet are a great springboard for further discussion with older children.

This book was purchased for me (a mom) to talk to four sons. The lessons are simple, direct and clear. There is no “humor” but just clear wisdom for the parents. The pictures are well done and help with the process. The script gives the parent the words needed. This is a wonderful start to our dialogue about intimacy in marriage, where it should be.

Great and easy to use. Will enjoy using this with both of my sons!

I found this to be a perfect resource for “breaking the ice” before the world does. I can give him more info later, but it was perfect to introduce the subject with my oldest son and cover all my bases for the first round. Thank you!

So much wisdom! True to God’s word. I am so thankful for this resource and am so blessed to be using it as a springboard for great conversations as well as a more in depth guide to teaching our children about biblical sexuality. Thank you so very much!

Thank you so much for “The Talk”! I have read the entire book myself and just completed the second lesson with my twin daughters who are 7 years old. It has been a sweet and precious time with them and opened the door for SO many questions! We have had other talks related to sex and marriage, but even as I listened to news on Christian radio, I felt an urgency to build a foundation of a biblical worldview of sexuality and ensure that God’s plan for sex is the first one they learn. One daughter commented that the second lesson was a bit embarrassing but she felt comfortable about it since Mama is teaching her. God led me to this resource at just the right time. Thank you for offering this and I look forward to checking out “Changes” and “Relationships”.

I recommend this book to all of my friends! I have never been shy about talking with my boys about sex at a very young age. I wasn’t sure if “The Talk” would be helpful (or just repetition). I found the book beyond helpful. There were things that I missed (because I never thought to tell my boys). I even learned alot as I worked through the lessons. I love having the why and scripture behind what I’ve been teaching my boys. And having a script really helps me organize and focus our conversations.

This book is exactly what I needed to start “The Talk” with my 10-year-old daughter. It is biblically based with scientific illustrations. Information is presented in a clear, easy to understand manner. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this resource! You just made what is often a difficult topic into an easy, informative discussion with my child.

I have a very innocent 10 year old daughter who is about to head into a middle school health class. I used the first chapter today to talk to her in preparation to this class. I had warned her we would be talking about some things regarding health and sex before that class started. When I told her I would be talking to her today she started getting very nervous. She admitted to me that she didn’t want to go to the health class and didn’t want to learn any of this stuff. We sat down at home and went through the first lesson together. It was amazing how quickly it drew her in and was so easy for her to understand. The way this is written made it so any nervousness I had going in disappeared completely as I followed the script. At the end I told her that we had more lessons to come and she gave me a hug and told me she looked forward to it. I would say that is a success! So, on a personal note, thank you for making this so much easier.
The book itself is very nicely designed and well illustrated for children. I appreciated how blunt it was but more than anything how well it draws in the Biblical truths of being loved and created by God and how all of this, our bodies, our sexuality, reflects him and should be used to honor him. I give this my complete recommendation for any parents looking for a solid, well designed, and biblical way to approaching “The Talk”.
