Talking Back to Purity Culture: Rediscovering Faithful Christian Sexuality
by Rachel Joy Welcher
I was incredibly impressed with this book! Just like the purity culture movement was an over-the-top pendulum swing response to the cultural immorality surrounding the topic, the majority of the responses I've seen criticizing purity culture take it too far the other way. They assume that if the purity culture response was wrong, then obviously God wants us to just do whatever you want in that area of your life. I disagree, as does the author of this book. She takes a very well-balanced approach in bringing up the many issues of the purity culture movement, while also highlighting what God DOES want from His followers in this area. I highly recommend this book to anyone who grew up with even a hint of purity culture teaching, and think that it would be an excellent companion to Sheila Gregoire's amazing books.
