Stephen Genuis, M.D.

Day after day, in doctor's offices and hospitals all over the world, people come in complaining of pelvic pain, inability to have children, abnormal pap smears, discomfort during intercourse, tubal pregnancies, and a variety of other problems.

These difficulties, some chronic and some temporary, are frequently the direct result of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Yet, most people have no idea of the severity of the STD problem, or how close it is to their own lives. It is truly time to people to equip themselves, so that they can deal with the STD situation at personal, educational and political levels.

Using stories, case presentations and a variety of current sources, the author has written a comprehensive, yet fascinating and easy to read book which clearly illustrates the seriousness of sexually transmitted diseases.

Raising Them Chaste, A Practical Strategy For Helping Your Teen Wait Till Marriage
Richard C. Durfield, Ph.D. and Renee Durfield
1991 Bethany House Publishers

Statistics show the alarming incidence of sexual promiscuity in our society and its devastating consequences. Seventy percent of all American teens have had sex by age eighteen. On the whole, young people in the church show the same trends as unchurched kids.

But statistics also show that parents are in the best position to help children establish and cultivate an internal counterpressure to resist sexual temptation. Authors Richard and Renee Durfield show how it is possible for parents to plant within their children a vision of sexual wholeness and purity that will strengthen their resolve to live with integrity—to say no to the world's view of morality and be happy about it.

Sexuality and Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Joe S. McIlhaney, Jr., M.D.
1993 Baker Book House

Without being an alarmist, an eminent gynecologist talks frankly about sexually transmitted diseases, the symptoms, the cures—and the inability to cure some of them. He clearly documents why all young adults should have an enlightened fear of STD which is spreading throughout the country like a firestorm.

Dr. McIlhaney exposes “safe” sex as a dangerous and naïve assumption when applied to casual sexual contact outside of marriage. He clearly documents how personal life and health are at risk, as well as the health of a present married partner. And he identifies the heartbreaking and expensive specter of future infertility as a real possibility.
