I don't write reviews (this being my first) but I MUST make an exception for this book. I agree with the last reviewer's title, "Don't listen to Moral Realtivists." This book is replete with Scriptural references and Catholic Theology but it is applicable to all theists of every denomination and religion. Mind you, the book is speaking of morality from the Christian perspective so if you don't like Christianity or believe in moral absolutes then I don't recommend that you put pointless reviews on the site.I am mass-purchasing a copy of this book for everyone I know in relationships because it's been of great benefit for me. If you have teenage/young adult children or are a teenager/young adult yourself, this books is primarily directed to you regardless of denomination or religion. Evert has taken 100 of the most commonly asked questions/objections and answered them with keen insight using logic, Scripture, papal encyclicals and exhortations, theologians (such as C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton), and many modern day resources (including internet links).I can not recommend this book highly enough. It is also very effectual against America's modern-day morality (or lack thereof). The chapters are divided as such:1. Chastity and the Meaning of Sex2. Dating and Courtship3. Preparing for Marriage4. How Far is Too Far?5. Pornography and Masturbation6. Homosexuality7. Contraception8. Sexually Transmitted Diseases9. Purity Renewed10. How to Stay Pure11. VocationsThe Bibliography is integrated with the footnotes and is listed at the back of the book. It's a great one!Evert answers such questions as:1. Why is premarital sex bad?2. Can't we accept that people have different values when it comes to sex?
