About this ebook
As I stated earlier, David and Jessica have known each other over three years. They met in the church. Our church has an orchestra. They both played instruments in the orchestra. They were very young when they met.
Neither one had an idea that one day God would put them both together as husband and wife. They both desired an educational mastery to be successful in life. Like Solomon, I guess you can say they sought wisdom and knowledge. They waited until they required mastery in knowledge before they decided to settle down and get married. Our youth today seems not to be asking for proficiency in wisdom and knowledge, but the youth, according to statistics I read earlier, are becoming adults before they have matured in the mastery of wisdom and knowledge. I am so glad that Jessica and David waited and was not promiscuous during their courtship, but followed Gods standard for a holy and righteous life. Sure, young people may make mistakes, but it is our job as Christian adults to not abuse them but to train them to respect Gods way and principles.
I believe that even if we train our children in righteousness and they later depart, it will remain with them in life (Prov. 22: 6), and it will cause them to return to God in honest and true confessions to God from the heart. God is looking on the heart of people. He doesnt care about our outward adorning, but he does care about our heart. For God knows whether or not were just and honest or living in hypocrisy and sin. I just believe if we acknowledge God in all our ways even when were young we can avoid many pitfalls in life. Young people live pure and righteous lives before God and like David and Jessica, and my husband and I, you can experience wedded bliss and happiness. For he who findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord (Prov. 18:22).

PRACTICAL GUIDANCE ABOUT
LOVE, SEX AND MARRIAGE
MEMORY VERSE: I THESSALONIANS 4: 7
For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
By
Faith C. Bays
FOREWORD
This book would not have been possible without the experienced training I have received from high school and college professionals; people who work hard in relating and sharing grammatical expertise to eager students. To my philosophers and professors I dedicate this book. I hope I have shared with others a guide that will help them in instructing and organizing Christian youth activities. To share this is a thrilling adventure.
PREFACE
This book is the outcome of a group of essays that I wrote in my 20’s for youth fellowships at my church. It has taken over 30 years for me to have them published. I’m still the same; I and my family love God and want to promote his agendas. Even though my ideas for the youths have not changed it seems as if their struggle for chastity while young is still a major problem. There are so many temptations that confront them that unless we form a prayer room (war room) for them we will find ourselves losing them. I hope you will be able to use my book to conduct youth fellowships at your church or
