Purity doesnt mean playing the game of How Far Is Too Far. A pure life is a full life-one that goes way beyond the ideas of dating, sex, and being a good girl, and focuses instead on what it means to be your true, powerful self.Purity can feel like a dirty word sometimes. After all, who wants to be told what not to do, how not to be, and who not to spend time with? Havent we proven women are smart, strong, and able to make their own decisions? But the reality is, what weve always been taught about Christian purity isnt 100 percent true. The idea has been twisted over the years into a list of dont rules that have obscured the facts: that purity empowers you to become who you were made to be, and its about a lot more than sex and dating.Heres the real truth: God designed purity as a whole-life experience, where you have the choice to follow your heart and be true to yourself as long as youre also following his Word. With honest advice, real-life examples, and tools to navigate the temptations and frustrations you face every day (including dealing with those who dont respect your boundaries), Pure Love, Pure Life meets you where you are-wherever you are-to illustrate why living the pure life isnt as constricting as it sounds, and how its worth the effort.This nonfiction book is real and honest, and should be required reading for teenage girls and their parents. - Christian Library JournalPure Love, Pure Life: looks at the idea of purity from a new angle, focusing on the dos instead of the donts contains stories from real girls who talk about their own purity decisions, and what being pure means to them is for any girl looking to live a happy, healthy life-no matter what they have or havent done in the past touches on issues relevant to a #metoo world
