Modesty & Purity
The topic of modesty or purity is often one of the most confused and poorly represented realms of Christian instruction. Church leaders want to equip their members to not be molded into the image of our worldly culture, and then make rules which go way too far. Parents try to protect their children, and often either say too little or become excessively restrictive. How is one to know? No wonder the Apostle Paul wrote (Titus chapter 2) that older men and women are to teach the younger about these areas. Age doesn’t impart perfect wisdom on this topic, but there is some experience gained which may temper the tendency to either legalism or looseness. Our books are carefully chosen from respected and seasoned teachers on these subjects.
