The Great Sex Rescue
by Sheila Gregoire, Rebecca Lindenbach, & Joanna Sawatsky
Just wrapped up this book and I thought these pages in this reel could speak for themselves as a review (Watch Here or IG clip with music)
I’ve seen many clients find healing through the corrective messages in this book. There were even misbeliefs and misconceptions I grew up believing that made me stop in my tracks when reading.
Sheila, Rebecca, & Joanna’s research of over 20,000 women backs up their theory that the evangelical church has, with no intention to harm, spread some harmful messages about sexuality over time. Especially in best-selling Christian books.
The Great Sex Rescue highlights and refutes harmful messages while underscoring a healthy, sacred, biblical sexuality.
I couldn’t recommend this book more!

“The Talk” Series by Luke Gilkerson
Weathering My Emotions Journal
By Promptly Journals (Ages 5-18)
Most of us can benefit from tools to help us navigate our emotions. @promptlyjournals#ad has created this quality journal as a practical tool to use whether in your home, at school, or in your counseling practice.
The theme is one of my favorite aspects of the journal. Children need to know that just like the weather, feelings come and go.
I often say, “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.” This means we can dress accordingly and with preparation can still enjoy the great outdoors.
Our feelings are similar in that:
“Feelings aren’t bad or good. They just are. It is what you do with them that matters the most.”
So put on this journal, grab something to write with, zip up, and enjoy processing emotions with your kids. Journaling is sure to enhance one’s emotional intelligence to enjoy life to the fullest.
This journal is super versatile with a creative layout, beautiful illustrations, and many therapeutic details.
I only promote things I believe in. This one’s a winner!

The Talk Series
by Luke Gilkerson
Many parents struggle to know when and how to talk about sexuality to children. “The Talk” is a 3-part book series that guides parents through reading and talking about sexuality, puberty, intimacy, relationships, etc. with their children.
Book 1, introduces male and female anatomy, explains conception, a baby’s growth in the womb and outlines a Biblical understanding of sexuality.
Book 2, emphasizes changes in puberty, as well as more lessons on intimacy as defined in scripture.
Finally book 3, includes topics such as lust, objectification, pornography, how to steward one’s own sexual desires and seek wholesome relationships with others.
See a more detailed description in the video here.
Each book follows the growth and maturity of your child giving lessons anchored in scripture and giving a biblical perspective of sexuality to establish foundational truths for your children at a level they can understand.
“The Talk” series is a practical resource guide that helps take some of the anxiety out of having these kinds of conversations with your kids. It’s an excellent tool for any homeschool curriculum or home setting. Sex-ed materials include books (Spanish/ English) plus online courses.

It’s not enough to put up a computer filter. Your kids need an internal filter to prepare them for how to navigate this hyper-sexualized culture that we live in.
Dr. Donald Hilton, a neurosurgeon and respected expert on pornography addiction agrees: “While we must continue to fight the good fight legally and societally, we are way beyond avoidance as our only defense. Pornography wants you, it wants your husband or wife, it wants your son and daughter, your grandchildren, and your in-laws. It doesn’t share well, and it doesn’t leave easily. It is a cruel master, and seeks more slaves.”
