How to Use This Book
It’s PB&J time. Time to feast on the hearty protein of God’s Word mixed with the sweet goodness of grace. Let the truth stick to the roof of your mouth and satisfy your hunger. This study will offer a quick meal on the subject of sex. In it you can expect to learn what abstinence is, what sex is, and what your thoughts have to do with sexual sin. Unlike other Bible studies, this one will help you by giving you the answers you look for when you want to know how far is too far. It isn’t just a fill-in-the-blank, hope-you-got-it-right kind of study. It’s a guided tour of God’s Word, filled with helpful suggestions and truths as well as thought-provoking and self-examining questions.
This is a study that you can do by yourself or in a group. You can lead a group of your peers or find an adult to lead it for you. Just go online at www.hungryplanet.net and download the leader’s guide of your choice, and you are off and running!
One more note: This study is for teens and young adults, not for preteens or wannabe teens. It’s for people who are ready to hear the harsh truth about sex and all the stuff that surrounds it. So it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s the truth in plain and simple terms—no tiptoeing around with generic or euphemistic terms. It’s the straightforward truth about sex and God’s plan for your sexual future.
So I hope you enjoy! Now sit down and take a bite.
Your Study Crew
Okay, now just some notes to get you started. First of all let me say that I hope you are doing this book with at least one other person of the same sex. Repeat: they have to be of the same sex as you. I’m sure it would be fun to do it with your significant other, but my advice is not to do that. Studying God’s Word together has a way of creating intimacy, and with that feeling of intimacy comes a greater risk of temptation. When couples who aren’t yet engaged do studies together, they can become so turned on by the spirituality of it all that they lose sight of the dangers of being intimate with someone they aren’t married to. And in some instances people have used the illusion of spirituality to seduce another person—using talk of spirituality for their own sexual gain. I’m not saying that your bf/gf is like that; I’m just saying, it happens. So find someone of the same sex as you to do this study with, please, please, please! It’s the best way to be honest with yourself and with God while you do the study and also to guard your heart and body at the same time.
make a list!
Who’s in
your crew?
Okay, now that I’ve given that speech, let me just encourage you to find at least one of your buds to do this with. Sure, you can do it on your own, but with a friend or a group of same-sex friends you’ll get much more out of it. It’s a great way to have accountability and share God-conversations and revelations. As you work through the questions and talk about them with each other, you’ll learn much more than if you just do it alone.
Once you get your gang together and they all get their books, make plans to meet once a week to go over one chapter. Be prepared to be honest and talkative. Don’t just give yes and no answers; be real, dig deep, and share. That’s the best way to study and to learn. The more you can learn about God’s thoughts and his plans for your life as a believer, the more healthy and happy your life will become. So call a friend or two or three and get this study started!
Note for Group Leaders:
Hey, don’t forget to check out the leader’s guides on our website. There are two. One is for an adult leading the group and one is for you if you want to lead your friends. A guide will help you answer the hard questions and keep the gang on task. So check out www.hungryplanet.net and download that guide today!
This is a Bible study on sex.
That means that this book isn’t for little kids or people who don’t want to be exposed to any sexual talk. Like all my other books, this book is honest and pulls no punches. That means I’m gonna talk about things that other authority figures might not talk to you about. I’m going to ask hard questions
