Synopsis

How can girls live pure in this world with darkness all around them? Is it even possible? This book gives a resounding answer, "Yes!" Girls can live pure lives as they walk closely with Jesus. This book encourages young women to build their thinking on God’s Word and put Jesus first in every area of their lives. Remember, purity is not found in a list of rules but in the pursuit of a person, the Lord Jesus Christ.
 In these pages, Sarah challenges young ladies to honor Christ in their relationships, guard their hearts and minds, resist temptation, and delight in Jesus who is the only One who satisfies. A captivating fairy tale woven throughout the book illustrates these principles of purity. Sarah includes biblical teaching, modern-day examples, and stories from her everyday life.
 To commemorate this 15th Anniversary Edition, Sarah (Mally) Hancock has added an appendix with the story of how God brought her husband, Andrew, into her life after many years of waiting. 
 This book is discreet and appropriate for 12-year-olds, yet relevant to all ages.

I have known many young ladies who were consumed with dating and thoughts about boyfriends, and ended up wasting the years of their youth. I have seen many girls who had much potential for the Lord but who followed the typical way of most teenagers and missed out on God’s best. On the other hand, I have had the joy of seeing the Lord bring together some outstanding couples and bless them with beautiful marriages. What made the difference? The difference was not ultimately a result of how they met, how they got to know each other, or whether they called their relationship “dating,” “courtship,” or anything else. Rather, the difference was the result of decisions made long before - decisions to put Jesus first in every area of life, to stand alone for what was right, and to patiently follow God’s way even when the road was uphill or difficult. The future decisions we make in our youth play a huge role in determining our future.
