Download or read book Pure written by Linda Kay Klein and published by Atria Books. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pure, Linda Kay Klein uses a potent combination of journalism, cultural commentary, and memoir to take us “inside religious purity culture as only one who grew up in it can” (Gloria Steinem) and reveals the devastating effects evangelical Christianity’s views on female sexuality has had on a generation of young women. In the 1990s, a “purity industry” emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual “stumbling blocks” for boys and men, and any expression of a girl’s sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This message traumatized many girls—resulting in anxiety, fear, and experiences that mimicked the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder—and trapped them in a cycle of shame. This is the sex education Linda Kay Klein grew up with. Fearing being marked a Jezebel, Klein broke up with her high school boyfriend because she thought God told her to and took pregnancy tests despite being a virgin, terrified that any sexual activity would be punished with an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. When the youth pastor of her church was convicted of sexual enticement of a twelve-year-old girl, Klein began to question purity-based sexual ethics. She contacted young women she knew, asking if they were coping with the same shame-induced issues she was. These intimate conversations developed into a twelve-year quest that took her across the country and into the lives of women raised in similar religious communities—a journey that facilitated her own healing and led her to churches that are seeking a new way to reconcile sexuality and spirituality. Pure is “a revelation... Part memoir and part journalism, Pure is a horrendous, granular, relentless, emotionally true account" (The Cut) of society’s larger subjugation of women and the role the purity industry played in maintaining it. Offering a prevailing message of resounding hope and encouragement, “Pure emboldens us to escape toxic misogyny and experience a fresh breath of freedom” (Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and founder of Together Rising).
Book Synopsis And the Bride Wore White by : Dannah Gresh
Download or read book And the Bride Wore White written by Dannah Gresh and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-20 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 250,000 copies sold, reviewers continue to rave about And the Bride Wore White: Seven Secrets To Purity. But the greatest proof of its effect is in the lives of tens of thousands of young women who've embraced the book's message. Each chapter of And the Bride Wore White begins with a narrative of Dannah Gresh's young love life, taken from her own teenage journals. She transparently shares her struggles and successes, her moments of pain followed by healing, and the moments of triumph. This story-line grips the young reader while they learn statistically proven risk-reduction factors. The end result are usable "how-to-say-no" skills that can reduce the risk of a young woman's heart being broken by sexual sin. In this update, Dannah and her friends share open letters of encouragement to young women, one to those who chose life and another to those who chose abortion, one to teen girls addicted to pornography and another to girls who have experienced sexual abuse, and many more specific to a young woman's unique circumstances.
Book Synopsis The Purity Myth by : Jessica Valenti
Download or read book The Purity Myth written by Jessica Valenti and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is obsessed with virginity - from the media to schools to government agencies. This panic is ensuring that young women's ability to be moral agents is absolutely dependent on their sexuality. Jessica Valenti, executive editor of Feministing.com and author of Full Frontal Feminism and Yes Means Yes, addresses this poignant issue in her latest book, The Purity Myth. Valenti argues that the country's intense focus on chastity is extremely damaging to young women. Through in depth analysis of cultural stereotypes and media messages, Valenti reveals that powerful messages - ranging from abstinence curriculum to ''Girls Gone Wild'' commercials - place a young woman's worth entirely on her sexuality. Morals are therefore linked purely to sexual behavior, as opposed to values like honesty, kindness, and altruism. Valenti approaches the topic head-on, shedding light on chastity in a historical context, abstinence-only education, pornography, and public punishments for those who dare to have sex, among other critical issues. She also offers solutions that pave the way for a future without a damaging emphasis on virginity, including a call to rethink male sexuality and reframing the idea of ''losing it.'' With Valenti's usual balance of intelligence and wit, The Purity Myth presents a powerful and revolutionary argument that girls and women, even in this day and age, are overly valued for their sexuality, and that this needs to stop.
Download or read book Purity written by Jackson Pearce and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel about love, loss, and sex -- but not necessarily in that order. Before her mother died, Shelby promised three things: to listen to her father, to love as much as possible, and to live without restraint. Those Promises become harder to keep when Shelby's father joins the planning committee for the Princess Ball, an annual dance that ends with a ceremonial vow to live pure lives -- in other words, no "bad behavior," no breaking the rules, and definitely no sex. Torn between Promises One and Three, Shelby makes a decision -- to exploit a loophole and lose her virginity before taking the vow. But somewhere between failed hookup attempts and helping her dad plan the ball, Shelby starts to understand what her mother really meant, what her father really needs, and who really has the right to her purity.
Book Synopsis Protecting His Workmanship by : Jeff Koehlinger
Download or read book Protecting His Workmanship written by Jeff Koehlinger and published by Search for the Truth Ministry. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an interactive workbook to enable a parent to explain the Biblical purpose and bounds for sexuality to your children. It is set up as a six session, six week study. This project began as a work of love, created by a father for his son. As authors, we pray that it will continue to be a work of love for all those desiring a contemporary, biblical tool with which to begin (or continue) revealing to their teen or pre-teen the beauty, mystery, and wonder of God's design and purposes for marriage and sexual intimacy. This includes Christian families, youth workers and mentors, pregnancy resource centers, and even those who do not yet know Christ, but who could discover His love and holiness in these pages. As parents, we want our children to take personal ownership of biblical values not just because this is what we have taught them, but because their own study of God's Word convinces them that His design for human sexuality is truly best. As our first son reached adolescence, we wanted to build into him a deep conviction of the importance of sexual purity in singleness and sexual faithfulness in marriage so that he would be well-equipped to live out the truths of God's Word in today's contrary culture. To do this, we needed a resource founded solidly on Scripture which would facilitate both family discussion and personal study by our teen. We also wanted to share information on sex in a way that would set a pattern for regular, continuing interaction with our children as they grow and develop through their teen years. Ideally, you will have been leading your child to a biblical understanding of sex and marriage in everyday life from early childhood. The earlier you lay the foundation for the explicit discussion of these topics in adolescence, the easier it will be for your teen to internalize God's perspective on these topics instead of the world's. If your relationship with your teen is weak or strained, now is the time to seek healing and restoration. The time you have left with him in your home is quickly disappearing. And his willingness to listen to and accept your instruction will likely only be in proportion to the strength of your relationship.

Book Synopsis The Scarlet Virgins by : Rebecca Lemke
Download or read book The Scarlet Virgins written by Rebecca Lemke and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-29 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebecca Lemke was a Good Christian Girl who wanted a Good Christian Husband and a Quiverfull of kids. The sort of blessed, picturesque life promised to people who followed The Rules. The Rules were these: Don't wear anything that could cause your male friends to stumble. Scratch that, don't wear anything but denim skirts and long-sleeve shirts, even when at the pool. Don't touch before you get married. No kissing, no hugging, no hand-holding. Break this rule, and you are damaged goods, chewed gum, spit-in water. Don't have a crush. If you have a crush on someone before you're married, you cannot give your husband your whole heart. You'll have an emotional STD that will infect your marriage! You should really just marry your first crush. Don't have problems. Good Christian Girls don't have problems. Don't ask questions. Good Christian Girls don't do that, either. Don't fight back. If a man hurts you, then you led him on and deserved it. Don't. Don't. Don't. As long as you follow The Rules, everything will be great. And everything was great. Until it wasn't. The small town homeschool group she attended imploded, leaving Rebecca isolated and alone. Everything came to a head when one of her friends was violently raped by none other than her older brother. Everyone around Rebecca said that the girl had deserved it. But the girl had followed The Rules. The Rules that were supposed to keep them safe and give them a good life. That was the moment she knew something was wrong, and she wasn't going to stay silent any longer. The Scarlet Virgins is a memoir of Rebecca's journey through the ramifications of spiritual abuse and purity culture, wrestling with the temptation of apostasy, the descent of herself and others into the depths of addiction, alcoholism, anorexia, depression, self-harm, and suicide. She outlines the dangers of finding your identity in your purity or ability to follow the Law rather than in Christ and what he has done for you.
