GenSeXYZ is the new book that covers the sexual revolutions in America and the impact of an over-sexualized culture.

Maybe you think that everything is out of control and our nation is in chaos right now as we begin 2021. That our future is bleak and this is the apocalypse.

In his new book Gen SeXYZ: Love, Sexuality & Youth, Jeff Grenell, a nationally recognized youth ministry veteran, looks unflinchingly at the many factors—and false narratives—shaping the sexuality of Generation Z, those born (roughly) from 1998 through 2013. He delves into topics like the present sexual revolution in America, over-sexualization in culture, the lack of influence of a healthy family and marriage on teens, homosexuality, “hook ups” and teen dating relationships, virginity, gender nonconformance, and other vital (and often thorny) issues.
