Passion and Purity
Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ’s Control
A book that tells a very moving love story. It’s honest. It’s practical. But even as it addresses the real questions and concerns of single men and women it always lifts our gaze upward–above our immediate preoccupations, above our longings for human companionship to the Maker who created us for Himself.
Passion and Purity gives honest direction in such areas as:
- Loving passionately while remaining sexually pure
- Whether or not to marry, and who is the right one
- The man’s and woman’s role in relationships
- Putting God’s desires ahead of personal desires
- How far is going too far, physically
