Looking for a way to open up discussions about sexual integrity with your family---or at your church? Alcorn's biblical, practical one-stop handbook deals with everything from teaching young children about sexuality to relationship principles for teenagers, older singles, and married couples; from special advice for those in ministry to transforming hope for those sorely tempted. 96 pages, hardcover from Multnomah.
For thirty years Randy Alcorn has been encouraging people-young and old-to pursue the rewards of sexual purity. Too often we settle for a compromised Christianity that's just a baptized version of the world's sad existence, rather than the abundant life to which God calls us. This book deals with - raising children to embrace sexual purity - providing an example of purity in the home - protecting purity in dating (at any age) - and maintaining purity in marriage. Biblical, practical, and concise, The Purity Principle is a one-stop handbook for individuals, families and churches.

This was a great book. In today's world we are bombarded with non-Christian, non-edifying movies, commercials, TV shows, magazines, etc. etc. and we tend to to think that "they are only a little sinful...it's ok." This book makes you realize that, though you may think "well, this (fill in the blank) only has one bad scene/line/picture in it...it won't affect my way of thinking", you're opening yourself up to Satan's attack when you don't consciously analyze what you are reading, watching, or listening to. I would HIGHLY recommend that every Christian read it.

This is absolutely the best book I've read on this subject! It takes everything I believe & principles I have stood on & walked in and presented them succinctly & clearly. I will give everyone of my children a copy as well as recommend it further to our Christian school kids. Mr. Alcorn is completely biblical & thorough in his coverage of this important and life-affecting topic.

I do a LOT of reading, and this book is second only to the Bible in the way it deals clearly and succinctly with the subject of sexual purity. This title is a good one to keep handy, especially for men, in this day-and-age of slipping sexual morality. Alcorn addresses Biblical sexual conduct (and lack of it) in a frank yet tasteful manner. This book is an excellent investment towards the reader achieving and maintaining sexual purity. It's definitely a keeper!

This book is waaaaayy more than a 5 it's a 10!!! Consistently, Randy challenges me to grow as a Christian and his writing is real and honest! He offers practical wisdom and encourages a deeper relationship with God. Thank God for Randy's obedience to the Lord, and may God continuously bless his ministry.
