Product Description
Product Description
Parents will find this book an essential resource in helping their children develop healthy, godly attitudes toward sexuality in an age when sex is a marketing tool for everything from clothing to toothpaste. Gleaning from interviews with various youth culture authorities, movie reviewers, youth pastors from across the nation, and teens themselves, the authors have created an informative book to educate and help parents as they guide their children through today's maze of sexual confusion. The book is peppered with statistics, teen language and context, and facts about the media's promotion of sexual freedom that destroys the sanctity that makes marital sex a special gift from God.

Dissapointed, Aug 16 2011
By Ashley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sex, Lies And The Media - What Your Kids Know And Aren'T Telling You (Paperback)
I like books that expose what the media does.. but this lady just talked about her family.. And rarely gave any advice... I feel kind of bad for making a review like this but I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone! It did give like one interesting fact.. but other than that.. It wasn't a book worth reading. Mothers may like the book but I would of rather heard her expose stuff in the media and.. I didn't really get much out of this book so I stopped reading it cause I couldn't find much I liked.

great resource for pedagogical arguments on sex in the Media, Feb 3 2006
By Carole Jackson "Carole Suzanne Jackson" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sex, Lies And The Media - What Your Kids Know And Aren'T Telling You (Paperback)
This is a must read for anyone who cares about cultural trends affecting our society. Eva Marie Everson and Jessica give information and tools to equip people for healthy, godly sexuality especially related to navigating through the barrage of subtle and overt message that bombard our culture.
This book is filled with candid insight illustrated with stories that draw you in and documented research providing crucial information about media's affect on sexuality especially in the United States. Though it targets young adults and brings perspective from them and their parents' generation, it relates to anyone effected by media in the American culture.
Having taught personal health at the college level and engaged adults of all ages in sex health related conversation, I recommend this book for anyone who talks openly about sexual topics with adults as well as youth. Many people of all ages seem to lack awareness in some of the import issues "Sex, Lies and the Media" exposes.
While earning my MA in communication from the University of Central Florida, I studied media and found some of the points made in this book on media albeit controversial in some circles. I wish I had, had this resource to strengthen my pedagogical arguments with my media professor.
To impact people in ways that could protect them from harm, we must use wisdom and sensitivity in approaching the sexual topics with confidence. This relevant book will help the reader do so where media is concerned.

Should Be Required Reading, Nov 19 2005
By Linda Gilden "author of Love Notes in Lunchboxes" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sex, Lies And The Media - What Your Kids Know And Aren'T Telling You (Paperback)
Sex, Lies, and the Media should be required reading for every parent, grandparent, youth minister, teacher, and adult who crosses paths with teens today. This book will increase understanding between the generations and better equip adults to guide youth who are growing up in the confusion of today's society. On the issues of today, the reader is given dual perspective: that of the adult from Eva Marie and that of a teen from her daughter Jessica. The two-sided perspective gives each generation an idea of how to respond to the other in a positive way. Sex, Lies, and the Media also includes great resource lists of ministries, websites, and others helps for adults who are guiding teens as they grow into responsible, Christian adults.
Once I started reading, I couldn't put this book down. I wanted to know everything Eva Marie could tell me so I could better understand what teens today have to deal with. But don't take my word for it, buy the book and read it!
