Some people have given up on purity. Some have never tried. Author Randy Alcorn shows us why, in this culture of impurity, the stakes are so high—and what we can do to experience the freedom of purity. Impurity will always destroy us; purity always leads to higher pleasures! Choose wisely. Let the insights of this book—written for old and young, married and single—help you gain your footing on the party to truly lasting joy.

The Purity Principle includes practical guidelines to protect purity, for singles, for married couples, and for parents who wish to train their children in purity. These include controlling the television and internet, and offering alternatives for how to spend our time. It also includes confession, repentance and developing biblical accountability that doesn't just admit sin, but prevents it.

One reader wrote in response:

The Purity Principle may be the shortest book you will ever read on the subject of purity. Yet in 93 pages, it packs a very powerful message. After reading the first few pages—pages filled with heart-breaking stories of those who have chosen impurity and the devastating consequences of their actions—I began to understand how high the stakes are when we play games with our purity.

Because of how I've been raised, I have always believed that impurity is wrong. But one of Mr. Alcorn's points took me by surprise. Impurity is not just wrong. It's stupid. Why? Well, you will just have to read the book. It makes a convincing case for the pros of purity and the cons of impurity that never leaves you bored.

Book Reviews

One of the saddest things to me is the fact that we have become so morally soft as a Christian culture. And one of my favorite things about this book is that it challenges us to take the high road in remaining pure and reaping the benefits that come from it. This book has certainly challenged my commitment to God and to myself to stay sexually and emotionally pure for the one special person that God has in mind for me. And I hope it will challenge you too. I would recommend this book for all young adults and teens.

Every young person needs to read this book . . . and every adult, for that matter. There are few issues that cause such ruin and devastation. For the sake of our families and loved ones, spread the word about this outstanding little book from Randy Alcorn.
- book review by The Discerning Reader

I just finished reading this powerful book. I have read MANY books on the topic of sexual struggles and I must say this one dealt most succinctly and directly with the topic. It was to-the-point, in-your-face, and a refreshing look at some basic truths we all need to be reminded. I highly recommend this short, power-packed book!
