There is no other book like The Purity Principle. I read it, and re-read it, and re-read it. - Administrator at Bible school in Cuba
Randy, please note the sense of clarity and enthusiasm you have given me through
your book, The Purity Principle. I just finished your book and have decided
to buy 5 more for other Christian men who are close to me in my life...although
I have a felling I will be buying many more.
I am 25 and have been concurred by pornography and premarital
sex time and time again. I have prayed, I have sought council, and I have looked
for answers in the Word. Everything that I have tried has been either vague
or clouded by my underlying misunderstanding of what sexual immorality offers
me...NOTHING. It is truly like a glass of salt water causing me to only thirst
for more empty means of self-gratification. With your help, I clearly understand
and now know with confidence what our glorious Lord offers us if we accept it...GREAT
JOY...what every real man searches infinitely for.
I pray that your book reaches countless numbers of men and
women and know that I will help to ensure that it does. It is the least that
I can do after what you have done for me. - A. T., Greenwood Village, CO
I really appreciated your book on purity. It is small, but packs a big punch. I read it twice, the second time underlining the parts that really hit me. - S. M., St. Louis, MO
I loved your book, The Purity Principle. I am preparing to marry a very godly girl and this book gave me some helpful tips on how to stay pure within marriage. I will be using them. Not only that, but it will help me to maintain purity with my future wife while we are in this fragile time. - K. S.
I am almost 12 and my dad is taking me through The Purity Principle. I just wanted to thank you sooooo much for writing that book. It has really helped me with that issue. And now whenever I am tempted I just remember your words which were "impurity is always stupid and purity is always smart."
The chapter "Getting Radical" really helped me in seeing that "purity comes only to those who truly want it." When you say to "STOP LOOKING", and "STOP PUTTING YOURSELF IN THE POSITION TO LOOK," and also when you say "If going to a movie rental store causes you to sin then don't go" and "If it means you have to lower your head and close your eyes so be it", well, all those things really helped me. Thank you. - J. P.
I gave a copy of the book The Purity Principle to a friend who was engaged
in an adulterous relationship with a married man. After reading the book she
immediately ended the relationship and is now seeking counsel on how to confess
to her husband. - S.R.
Today I finished reading The Purity Principle. This book is absolutely
essential for men today. It is a book that I plan to re-read from time to time
and as my boys grow older I plan to read it with them. I just got back from
an evangelistic trip to the jungle were I saw couple after couple, marriage
after marriage, and family after family destroyed because of adultery, pornography,
or fornication. It was a real warning to me, "Keep yourself pure!" I keep thinking
if only those people could have read your book before they destroyed themselves.
Thank you again! - S.M. Missionary
I work in an office with many women. I recently found and read your book on The Purity Principle. I now read it once a month. It has made a great deal of difference in how I view the ladies in the office and how we interact together. It has been a real blessing and made me appreciate my wife even more. Please don't let this book go out of print. - L. S.
The Purity Principle got here today! I am amazed at how the Lord moves.
I told one of our senior pastors tonight that these books came in and that I
shouldn't have ordered them. He got a deeply concerned look on his face, thinking
I was telling him the book was not biblical. "No," I told him, "the book calls
me what I have been all too often-STUPID! Right in line with scripture. And
no man likes to know the truth-but we all NEED to know it."
Wow! I can't wait to finish reading this book and I look
forward to hearing how God will move in the lives of other men as a result of
them reading it.I do believe. God is up to something. Lord knows we live in
a dead culture and He calls us to preserve it and light it up-but He calls us
to obedience.
No excuses. Just repentance and obedience. Lord Jesus, that
is my prayer. - S. B., Houston, TX

I pray that this reaches you and if this were hand written, you would clearly notice the tear drops on the pages. - A.T., Greenwood Village, CO
Yesterday The Purity Principle arrived. I started reading it immediately. This book is real help. It`s such an adventure to see that the solution for all my problems with sexuality was always there. There are so many passages I know for so long, but now it is the first time that I see them in relation to my problems. I`m really WORKING with the Bible now. And I want to bring the purity principle in my life. I wish I had done it before. The last days gave me such a joy that losing praying-time and purity made me dissatisfied. Like Randy Alcorn writes I see that purity brings joy and life. And I don`t want to miss it now again. There`s a difference between doing things with or without God. Even when I had no praying time I kept the course in the main, but it was not the same. It was "doing the right" (better than doing the wrong, of course) but coming out of a time of prayer was "living with God". - Letter from Germany
I have read The Purity Principle you gave me when you visited class. It is terrific. Your book moved me from 98% commitment to purity to 100%. Thanks for helping me realize the idols that I have harbored. You have been a blessing to me! - C. L., Seminary professor
