Pure Love, Pure Life
By Elsa Kok Colopy / Zondervan

Purity is often presented as a series of don’ts—don’t think that way, don’t look that way, don’t act that way. But real purity is about the freedom God gives us to live a life of happiness, and is not just about virginity—it’s a whole life transformation. This book offers teens the opportunity to discover that the pure life can also be a good life.

My Thoughts:

This book is on my list for my teen daughters to read. It is well written and shows how staying pure sexually until marriage requires more than just not having sex but living a pure life before God. As a mom I want to see good messages for girls that show them why its so important that they remain pure. What the consequences are for not but also what are the rewards.

As a woman I have been there, been tempted but ultimately I waited. And because of that I have an amazing relationship with my husband and I don’t have baggage to carry into it that had to be dealt with.

I also love how she shares the grace that if you mess up you don’t have to continue to mess up. God forgives you and you move forward from that point. She not only does all that but gives great ideas and counseling on how to remain pure in this overly sexually active modern world we live in.

I think one thing that is very important that she talks about is having accountability. That friend that you can be brutally honest with. One that won’t run because of your mistakes nor will judge you but will lovingly help nudge in the right direction if you were to veer off the path. As an adult I still find this very important.

As you can see I am a huge fan of this book and give this one my highest recommendations for teen girls and young adult women.

You can purchase a copy of this book via Christianbook.com for $8.19.
