Easy read, short and well written. Jun 09, Lydia Turner rated it it was amazing. I thought that this book gave a great, understandable discussion of the ins and outs of romantic relationships, starting with understanding yourself. The transition into chapter nine could have been a bit smoother, explaining up front the reason why its theme was so important to the book's theme-- which Vallotton does at the end--, but I think this chapter was a valuable addition to the book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a relationship or already in a relationship.

I'm a big Kris Vallotton fan as I've been listening to his podcasts and reading his material for several years now. This book is powerful for the young. I would value seeing a section where there is exploration on those who are no longer married and over The principles are likely to be the same but I'd appreciate how Kris would put this message across contextually for the hurting, damaged and neglected who are contemplating love and sex after the bloom of adolescence is gone but the passion I'm a big Kris Vallotton fan as I've been listening to his podcasts and reading his material for several years now.

The principles are likely to be the same but I'd appreciate how Kris would put this message across contextually for the hurting, damaged and neglected who are contemplating love and sex after the bloom of adolescence is gone but the passion hasn't.

My favorite thing about the book is that Kris shows that "waiting until marriage" is something that you should fight for and in fighting for it, it makes the value of it all that much greater. Great book! This book is a very informative book. I read this book in youth group, this book is a purity book. It gives you a testimony from a pastor from Bethel Redding.

This book tops it off, as bizarre as only could be expected. Great bunch of people, but I won't be converting any time soon.

It covered everything I've been hearing for the past few weeks the topic has been brought up more and more as we near the election and The Call and more. Here's hoping another sexual revolution is on the rise to reverse the damage of the last one.

The paper posits that purity is a valuable virtue in Christian ethics and a panacea for the several moral crises that is besetting the world and the church of Christ, if properly interpreted and adapted to daily living.

For a comparative analysis, purity in some other religions will also be examined. Purity in the Old Testament Ordinarily, purity means being pure. It means not being mixed with any other substance. It is the condition of physical cleanliness, personal hygiene, or freedom from contamination Collins Purity is not only a spiritual word and is not just always personal in usage.

It is used in art color , language, sociology, physics, and just in anything that has a capacity of subsisting without mixture. In the Old Testament purity has to do with a condition resulting from ceremonial washings which makes one acceptable to worship God. The book of the law and other Old Testament narratives are full of rules and rituals that promotes physical cleanliness and hygiene such as washing the feet for guest, washing before meals, separation between clean and unclean food and animals.

Others include regulation about child birth, contact with corpse, provision of lavatory, purification for Levites and many more These laws and regulations could be viewed in two ways; either as serving the purpose of physical cleanness and hygiene or as rituals that makes the people of the Old Testament acceptable to God.

The two purposes are valid. Pope John Paul II in one of his addresses struck this balance: The Old Testament tradition attributed great importance to ritual ablutions, for example, to wash one's hands before eating Many detailed prescriptions concerned the ablutions of the body in relation to sexual impurity, understood in the exclusively physiological sense… According to the medical science of the time, the various ablutions may have corresponded to hygienic prescriptions.

They were ritual ablutions and, in the life of the people of the old covenant, they served ritual "purity" Paul II www. So Old Testament purity though very much attached to ceremonial cleansing and other rituals, is both physical and spiritual. While examined in the context of the temple for example, it is argued that these rules though seemingly irrelevant to a modern man in his day to day activities are still adhered to by knowledgeable and observant kohanim Priests because they are the required word of God for all generations.

Purity and impurity are said not to be mere words but vast concepts because they defy literal translation and has no connection with physical cleanness. This view of the rabbis is quite thought-provoking as it tends to serve as an intermediary or reconciler between the Old and New Testament concept of purity.

But God himself has clearly declared the inability of the Old Testament rituals and laws as inadequate to cleanse the inner heart of man and therefore the necessity for the New Testament. Jeremiah Wright Purity in the New Testament In the Greek the two adjectives signifying purity are hagnos and katharos.

The first signifies a qualitative holiness or purity belonging to the deity and the associated things or persons. The other signifies physical or moral cleanness in person and things. The occurrence and meaning of this root in the New Testament signifying ritual purity went into irrelevance since it was only the Jewish community in Jerusalem that still held to the temple cult and observe the ordinance. In the new community of believers, the term gained a new meaning which expressed moral purity as demanded in the behavior of Christians.

The foundation is Christ himself who is holy hagnos: pure without sin. Therefore those who are his must be holy Brown Purity as taught by Jesus and other New Testament writers is a quality of the heart. Matt This has various shades meaning.

It means singleness of purpose or integrity of heart. It is the determination to seek the kingdom of God and his will alone. It may involve chastity to a high degree but the context here is the kingdom God having Jesus as its example. Lucie-Smith Nor is it a call to obey a comprehensive system of rules.

According to Richard B. Hay, while rules and commandments provide an orderly structure for the moral life, actions are grown organically out of character. Jesus has a deeper goal of transformation for character and of the heart in his teachings. As Pope John Paul II further expatiated, Speaking of purity in the moral sense, that is, of the virtue of purity, we use an analogy, according to which moral evil is compared precisely to uncleanness.

Certainly this analogy has been a part of the sphere of ethical concepts from the most remote times. Christ took it up again and confirmed it in all its extension: "What comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a man.

He enumerates "evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander," without confining himself to a specific kind of sin. It follows that the concept of purity and impurity in the moral sense is in the first place a general concept, not a specific one.
