About the Book
“It’s Okay to Wait” is the story of a father who sits down with his adolescent daughter to have “the talk” about sex. Through his experience of well-earned life lessons and faith principles, he describes some of the stumbling blocks she may encounter on the road to love. Sensing that she can speak honestly to her dad without being judged, the daughter reveals her concerns and asks questions about dating, love and marriage. It’s not easy for parents to give sound advice and guidance to growing children, but it is necessary! Author Alonda Thomas wrote “It’s Okay to Wait” after observing the advanced sexual awareness of today’s youth; reminiscing about her own experiences as a teen; and contemplating how she would address the subject with her own future children. This revealing glimpse into an intimate conversation between a parent and child will educate the young and inspire the young-at-heart. It will stimulate conversation for anyone faced with their own “talk” and encourage a healthy discussion about self-esteem, self-worth and discernment.
