Somewhere between our cultures in-your-face messages about sex and the churchs awkward silence, theres Sex, Purity, and the Longings of a Girl s Heart . As someone who longs to see this generation of young women walking in freedom, I cant champion this book loud enough. Bethany and Kristen remind us that sexuality is broken, but wholeness is possible when we choose to look for answers in the ultimate relationship manualthe Word of God.

Kristen and Bethany use their own experiences to show that sexuality done the worlds way isnt freedom; its slavery. They challenge readers to the risky work of getting down into our brokenness, but Kristen and Bethany write with grace and truth, keeping the focus on the One who sets us free. They offer powerful help from the Word of God, the Spirit of Christ, and the saving power of the cross to break free from habitual sexual sin and shame and live in life-giving, soul-satisfying sexual purity.

Transforming. Hopeful. Timely. Freeing. After reading this book, I personally found sexual freedom in areas I didnt even know I struggled with. I recommend this book for any daughter, wife, sister, mom, or friendno matter her age!

Finally, a book that deals with sexuality in a gracious, tactful, and biblical way. Kristen and Bethany are refreshingly candid and unashamedly scriptural as they teach why God created us with sexual desires and what to do about it. This book offers hope for every girl who has ever wondered if she is the only one who struggles with lust, freedom from slavery to her desires, and the truth about Gods wonderful design for sexuality. Best of all, in these pages are dozens of Scriptures and practical truths to guide young women into a life of true sexual freedomfreedom to live according to Gods design.

One question: Where was this book all my life? Kristen and Bethany have done it again. With tender love yet firm conviction, they give us another installment of truth. Do yourself a favor and savor this book. Let it sink in deeply and then pass it along. Youre never too far gone that God cant redeem any and every area of your life. This book (along with Gods Word) is a great starting point toward healing and redemption.
