This volume takes a radical look at today's views of love, sex and human relationships, and calls readers to the freedom of purity and the joy of a Christ-centred life. It contains insights gleaned from generations of pastoral care and from the shared life of a Church community committed to the struggle for openness and honesty. This book attempts to get to the root of the issues: people's relationship with God, and the defining power of that relationship over all other relationships. It should be of interest to young, single adults looking for lasting and genuine relationships, couples seeking to find or regain a greater sense of unity and intimacy, and parents who wish they knew how to guide their childen through the confusion of adolescence.

Review:
This is a slender but exceedingly thoughtful treatise on the role of love, marriage and sex in a committed Christian life. Couples seeking compassionate wisdom on intimate relationships will find it rich and comforting.
Review:
The value of purity has been lost in the wake of the sexual revolution. A Plea For Purity confronts the myth that sexual freedom is the key to fulfillment and makes a compelling case for purity in every area of life. A Plea For Purity goes beyond the ideal of remaining sexually pure. In its truest sense, purity enables a person to develop genuine, loving, lifegiving relationships. A Plea For Purity addresses the pain resulting from the cycle of broken relationships and the misuse of sexual intimacy. It provides fresh biblical insights into critical issues including the sacredness of the marriage covenant; overcoming sexual temptation while single and while married; the calling to remain single or to marry; raising children in today's society; and divorce and remarriage. A Plea For Purity offers words of healing, a new beginning, and a sense of hope to those who have experienced discouragement or failure. A Plea For Purity is highly recommended reading for anyone struggling with their own sexual identity and life choices amidst the seductions of today's promiscuous and dangerous world. -- Midwest Book Review
