Synopsis

Purity. What exactly is it? According to bestselling authors Hayley and Michael DiMarco, purity is far more than abstinence from sex or other sexual activities. It's not about rules. It's not a list of don'ts. It's not about scare tactics, teen pregnancy statistics, or warnings about STDs. And it's not ruined the moment we mess up. It goes way deeper than that.

In their honest, down-to-earth style that teens trust, Hayley and Michael explain that purity starts in the heart and involves every thought, desire, and action--not just sex. They show that purity isn't just for the superspiritual, but that it is a daily choice that every teen must make. And most importantly, they show teens that it's never too late to become pure and that lost purity can be redeemed through God's grace.

From the Back Cover

What if everything you've heard about purity wasn't quite right?

True Purity isn't only about waiting and keeping your body under wraps--it's about being purely God's in every way. Any desire that prevents you from giving God 100 percent of your life leads to impurity. But here's the amazing truth about purity:

Purity isn't something you achieve for yourself--your purity is really God's job.

True purity is something that is yours solely because of the One who makes you pure. It's when you embrace Jesus as your source of purity that God sees you as pure.

Hayley and Michael DiMarco show you what purity looks like not only when it relates to sex and your body, but also in every area of life. They explain how it involves all of your thoughts, desires, and actions. Because even the best intentions, pledges, rings, and willpower will never equal the true purity found in Christ.
