"If I only had known what could happen, I would have made a different choice!"

After a decade in a crisis pregnancy center, as well as counseling both Christian and non-Christian teens and speaking to millions of students through the years, Pam Stenzel has heard this statement many times. From girls and guys like you. And yes, sex is glorious. Sex is God-given. But sex outside of God's boundary has far-reaching consequences-a price tag of incalculable costs.

Sex Has a Price Tag is frank but also sympathetic. Inside are searing personal testimonies, medical stats, and practical solutions; encouragement in the form of Biblical examples; support and networking options, alternatives to dating situations, and advice about abstinence, urges, the physical and emotional effects of sex, as well as where to go for help and dealing with friends, parents, and your own self-respect.
