Not If But When: Preparing Our Children For Worldly Images by John Perritt
^Good Pictures, Bad Pictures: Porn Proofing Today's Young Kids by Kristen Jensen
^Good Picture's, Bad Pictures Jr. by Kristen Jensen
^These last two books, though very helpful, are not written from a biblical point of view. Please read these books yourself before reading to your child, remind your children that God’s grace is sufficient to help them, even if they fail, and God does not promise us that bad things will not happen to us. Talk with us more if you need further direction. We have also not read the resources these books recommend.
