Description:

Former Focus on the Family editor Elsa Kok Colopy explores purity with teen girls with a fresh new look, one that is a whole life transformation and commitment.

Purity is often presented as a series of don’ts—don’t think that way, don’t look that way, don’t act that way. But real purity is about the freedom God gives us to live a life of happiness, and is not just about virginity—it’s a whole life transformation. In Elsa Kok Colopy’s book for teens thirteen to fifteen, teens will discover that the pure life can also be a good life.
