If You Really Loved Me: 101 Questions on Dating, Relationships, and Sexual Purity

In a question-and answer format, Catholic Answers apologist and author Jason Evert discusses every aspect of chastity. He emphasizes that saying no to premarital sex is saying yes to authentic love. Using anecdotes drawn from stories he has heard in his speaking to youth and his own experience, Evert writes clearly and persuasively on the questions about dating, relationships, sexuality, and chastity that young people have asked him wherever he speaks.
