by Pam Stenzel and Crystal Kirgiss

Published 1 February 2003

"If I only had known what could happen, I would have made a different choice!"

After a decade in a crisis pregnancy center, as well as counseling both Christian and non-Christian teens and speaking to millions of students through the years, Pam Stenzel has heard this statement many times. From girls and guys like you. And yes, sex is glorious. Sex is God-given. But sex outside of God's boundary has far-reaching consequences-a price tag of incalculable costs.

Sex Has a Price Tag is frank but also sympathetic. Inside are searing personal testimonies, medical stats, and practical solutions; encouragement in the form of Biblical examples; support and networking options, alternatives to dating situations, and advice about abstinence, urges, the physical and emotional effects of sex, as well as where to go for help and dealing with friends, parents, and your own self-respect.

What is going on inside guys' heads? Why do things often seem easier for them in society? And what can we young women do to understand them better-and help them understand us? This book looks to give insight into those questions and more, using proven biological information and social findings, and a little humor, to explore just what is up with the teen boys in your life.

They don't always bathe when they should. Or they seemingly spend all their time with friends hitting each other and having weird contests. Deep down, we like them, but boys can be hard to comprehend sometimes. Especially when our culture seems to value the male gender more than our female counterpart. Thankfully, experienced author and youth leader Crystal Kirgiss has done some research and has answers to the questions you've often asked about the guys in your life. Going beyond stereotypes and looking at the real facts-from the biological to the social to even the biblical-What's Up with Boys? will help you understand, appreciate, respect, and accept guys as they are ... and give you straight-forward information to help them do the same when it comes to you.
