Book Review: What Your Parents Didn't Teach You about Sex & Christianity

November 24, 2006 by Joanne Brokaw

“What You Didn’t Learn From Your Parents” series
Matthew Paul Turner
(TH1NK)

Reviewed by Joanne Brokaw

With his usual wit, sarcasm and wisdom, author Matthew Paul Turner is back with a new series of books, “What You Didn’t Learn From Your Parents About Sex” and “What You Didn’t Learn From Your Parents About Christianity”.

Never one to shy away from straight talk about any subject, Turner offers readers solid truth with a healthy dose of humor that will appeal to the burned out believer (“Christianity”) as well as every Christian afraid to talk about masturbation, pornography, and abstinence (“Sex”).

The books are easy to read and filled with sidebars, quizzes, and charts that keep the tone light while imparting facts, trivia, and the frequent sarcastic comment you’d expect from the same guy who brought you “The Christian Survival Guide.”

Two more titles are planned in the series (“Money” and “Politics”). You can also check out promos for the books on YouTube.com.
