New small group resource - The Bare Facts

Title: The Bare Facts: 43 Answers to Questions Your Parents Hope You Never Ask!
Author: Josh McDowell
Call number: SGR MCD









Sex is everywhere. And misunderstandings about it are even more pervasive. Whether you have questions of your own and don’t know who to ask, or you are being asked questions and don’t know where to turn-this DVD has the answers. Bestselling author and speaker, Josh McDowell believes that no question is off limits and that knowledge, not ignorance, is the key to youthful purity and a fulfilling marriage and family. Josh builds on that approach with relevant, pertinent statistics, entertaining anecdotes, and real stories in this video dialogue.

This DVD will be a very practical tool in the hands of anyone who is struggling, anyone who is curious, anyone who is nervous about asking a “dumb question,” and most importantly, anyone who desires to learn how to honor God with his or her body. The Bible is clear on a lot of these issues and Josh’s candor (and respect for young people) shines through as he shares these truths about sex. Much like Josh’s apologetics books, this book will help equip a skeptical generation with the facts they are sorely missing.
