5.0

The book that the Christian Church needs to read! While I did not grow up in a strictly purity culture church, it was still influenced by that mentality. This book helps unpack some of those ideas for both survivors and those who have learned such toxic ideas alike.

A lot of great research while still being easy to read, Emily Joy Allison tackles a difficult subject with grace and even occasionally a bit of humor. Strongly recommend to anyone who works in a church, especially with youth, or to anyone who has the displeasure of being told they need to remain pure.
