Pure Love, Pure Life: Exploring God's Heart on Purity
by Elsa Kok Colopy
Pure Love, Pure Life: Exploring God's Heart on Purity is a non-fiction title for young teens and up regarding the Biblical aspects of remaining sexually pure until marriage.
I was really impressed by the way Elsa Colopy tackles the subject, and the voice she presents in her text. She comes across as very open and approachable, but not too buddy-buddy and not too parental. I think this is a very fine line to walk, especially if you're an adult trying to speak to teens about anything regarding sex. She presents everything with scripture and anecdotes to back up what she's saying, but she's not preachy which I also think is important.
This is a great book for Christian teens who want to better understand why the choices they make about sex impacts their walk with God. It's also a great book for non-Christian teens who maybe want to understand why their Christian friends are (hopefully) making decisions to save themselves sexually until marriage. I think young adult women (college and post-college) would also be able to get quite a bit from this as well. It's also great for parents who don't know how to bring up things like sexting, or for small Bible study groups. Each chapter has between three and five questions at the end to consider.
Thoughtful without being heavy, calling to action without making the reader feel crowded, Pure Love, Pure Life is an excellent, encouraging read for anyone interested or pursuing this topic.
I received this title free through GoodReads Giveaways/First Reads.
