Book Reviews of Heat: A Graphic Reality Check for Teens Dealing With Sexuality (FlipSwitch)
Book Review: Probably the best book out there on the subject
Summary: 5 Stars
When it comes to the subject of sex, every book out there thats Christian (or sort of Christian, like this one is), typically tells us kids to "Just Don't Do It,' or 'Stop!' or Wait." The first message is always a negative message--NO. What's cool about this book is that it starts out with a postive message, that sex is a good thing. We don't hear that a lot today. Also, the book is pretty funny--like, it starts out talking about how we live in such a sex-saturated society, and what if something out there was talked about as much as sex, something random, like cheesecake. So it's all like the Joy of Cheesecake, or Cheesecakes gone wild, or the 40-year-old cheesecake, or whatever. That's a good point the author makes, becuase it's like, give me a break. Everywhere you go, people are always talking about sex. So this is a good book. It just lets you figure out stuff for yourself.

Story Behind the Book
A team of youth pastors approached Multnomah with the need for a visual pivotal-issues series for teens-something that would enter into their world and confront the stuff they actually think, talk, and wonder about every day. These products called for a "back of the school bus" feel. Kids don't get spoon-fed answers; they simply get enough cards on the table to create their own conversations. Now youth pastors everywhere can't seem to hand out enough of them!
