Made To Be Intimate - Paperback

by Tom Ogal (Author)

Growing up a pastor's son in the rural enclaves of Africa, young Tom watched with a dropped jaw as matters of dating and other forms of male and female relationships were discussed only in hush tones and were made to feel evil. In his youth, he found himself inevitably lost and ill-equiped to handle relationships, especially when they were at the point of catching fire into something serious. He was bothered by this and knew he had to do something to help future youth avoid his childhood predicament. In Made To Be Intimate, Tom keeps a promise he made many years ago, to help rural and urban African youth deal with issues around dating and other male-female relationships in a mature, Christian manner. In the simplest language, he takes away the stigma and drama tradition and modernity have colluded to create confusion for our youth today. You may not come away with all the answers, but reading this book will help you know how to prayerfully handle a matter that the Lord has designed to bring joy into a Christ based relationship.
