Not If But When: Preparing Our Children for Worldly Images
Perritt, John
"If silence has been a weapon pornography has employed, then conversation is an ally in our fight."
Not If, But When doesn’t just present the facts, but models for parents how to speak about sex through telling the story as a conversation between a child and parent. It shows how the conversation about this sensitive topic does not have to be embarassing, and gives language to parents who may not feel equipped to speak about sex and pornography in a Biblical way. It doesn’t cloud the issue with shame, but points to God’s good plan as well as the promise of his forgiveness.
Pornography is wreaking havoc in our culture destroying families, and marriages. One of the greatest tools the enemy has used when it comes to pornography has been this: silence.
Too many parents have been embarrassed or felt ill-equipped to deal with this subject, so they don't talk about it at all.
This book is meant to be read alongside your child. It is pitched at seven to twelve-year-olds. While you may protest that seven is too young, please note that the average age of porn exposure is now eight years-old. Plus, wouldn't you want your children to be exposed to the truth of God's Word about sex before they hear lies from the world?
As you introduce your children to the stories of Sarah or Samuel you will negotiate together the problems, challenges and truths of God's wonderful gift of sex.
