Growing Toward Intimacy

Description:

Growing Toward Intimacy aims to help adolescents develop their spirituality to keep pace with their unfolding sexuality. The book is a helpful, realistic read for teens and for caring youth ministers, teachers and parents. Growing Toward Intimacy is an even better discussion catalyst. Teens who talk about sexuality tend to make more live-giving choices in their relationships.

Excerpt:

"Most of us do not go Christmas shopping for a brother, sister, parent or close friend and intentionally choose something he or she will hate. We do not purchase an especially ugly and useless item, carefully wrap it, and give it to a special person as a gift. We do not watch as he or she excitedly rips open the present, only to discover, "I hate this. Do you have the receipt?"

As stupid as this sounds, that is exactly what we are doing in relationships when we do not value ourselves. We are giving a gift to people that we are convinced they will not like."
