Purity by Design

Choosing sexual purity may seem old-fashioned and culturally irrelevant, but Purity by Design illustrates the profound wisdom and protection of following God with our sexuality. The multi-faceted benefits of purity are profound and affect our lives for good, in every way... but it’s still difficult to wait…

We will look at how the benefits of sexual purity play out in our practical lives. The stories in this book explore the whole spectrum—from purity to promiscuity, and back again. Our deep encouragement for remaining sexually pure will highlight the benefits of waiting to have sex until you are married, and the drawbacks of failing to wait.
Roger and Diane share their personal stories of embracing purity with raw transparency. The contrast of their journeys is Roger lost his virginity at a very young age, and wandered in the world for years, before he received God’s grace and forgiveness, and made a commitment to purity. Diane submitted her sexual desire to LORD early in life, and was empowered to maintain her purity. She married Roger at the age of thirty-seven, as a virgin.

Purity by Design vulnerably shares their contrasting journeys, and heartbreaks, in the context of God’s unifying love and redemption. They practically share the positive and negative consequences they each experienced—given the choices they made, as they invite you into the immeasurable rewards of purity.
