'Dear friends, you are foreigners and strangers on this earth. So I beg you not to surrender to those desires that fight against you. Always let others see you behaving properly, even though they may still accuse you of doing wrong. Then on the day of judgment, they will honour God by telling the good things they saw you do.' 1 Peter 2:11-12

Linda Marshall, student worker and this book's author says, 'Pure began life a bit accidentally, to be honest, as a six-week course for young people on what God says about sex and relationships. It's so exciting to see it moving on to this next stage where it can be of use to the wider church.'

Commendations

"Old habits die hard. We can be painfully aware of hypocrisy and failure, and tempted to give up. Yet the truth is that we have a new identity and a new destiny. At the heart of this identity is the call to purity. Pure will challenge you to lead a distinctive life. It will help you to avoid compromise, and make you excited about the opportunities and the adventure of a life well lived." Nigel Pollock, Director, Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship, New Zealand

"Linda communicates beautifully God's truth and his standard regarding sex. If you want guidance, honesty and heaps of grace this book is for you!" Beth Redman, author and speaker

"An excellent example of an explanation of the biblical truth about sex which manages to combine discussion of crucial and sensitive issues with Linda's typically light touch and brilliant sense of humour. Fabulous stuff!" Graham Daniels, Director, Christians in Sport, UK
