The God's design for sex series helps parents establish a biblical view of sexuality in the home. The parents' guide, and four age-appropriate books, enable families to develop a healthy dialogue about sexuality. They provide children the foundation of truth and knowledge they need for when they are inevitably bombarded with confusing and potentially harmful messages about sex.
Each book communicates clear information and illustrations, delivered in a biblically holistic way. What's the Big Deal? is the third book in the God's Design for Sex series, written for children ages 8 to 12.
Your kids probably know about sex. But what they've gathered from TV, other kids, or the Internet is often distorted or incomplete and falls far short of God's good plan for their sexuality.

Find insights and answers to tough questions like:
- What does God actually say about sex in the Bible?
- Why is it best to save sex for marriage?
- What is pornography, and why is it dangerous?
- What is puberty, and what does it look like for boys & girls?
