Ebooks Online

For thirty years Randy Alcorn has been encouraging people-young and old-to pursue the rewards of sexual purity. Too often we settle for a compromised Christianity that's just a baptized version of the world's sad existence, rather than the abundant life to which God calls us. This book deals with - raising children to embrace sexual purity - providing an example of purity in the home - protecting purity in dating (at any age) - and maintaining purity in marriage. Biblical, practical, and concise, The Purity Principle is a one-stop handbook for individuals, families and churches.

Randy Alcorn is a well-known Christian author and speaker. He has written over 30 books which include both fiction and non-fiction. He is the founder and director of Eternal Perspectives Ministries (EPM) through which he has ministered to people in many countries. Prior to founding EPM Alcorn was a pastor for 13 years in the state of Oregon.Much like the name of his ministry, in "The Purity Principle" (TPP), Alcorn seeks to address sexual purity from an eternal perspective. That is, from a biblical, godly perspective. Alcorn addresses this topic using stories of people who have struggled with sexual purity as well as those who have fallen into sexual deviancy. He addresses these stories of sexual sin and temptation with Scripture while sharing personal stories of his own struggles and temptation with sexual impurity.TPP does not side steps sexual purity issues, but addresses them head on. It is a book in which the author deals directly with sexual issues including pornography, masturbation, singleness and marital fidelity. While these issues are addressed scripturally, Alcorn's strength is in the practical advice he offers for dealing with sexual temptation in order to avoid sexual sin. Chapters 1 - 5 lay out the real life problems and effects of sexual sin and show the reader how to think about it from God's perspective. Chapter 5 transitions into practical strategies the reader can use to avoid sexual sin which is spelled out in the last half of the book in chapters 6 - 10 with chapter 11 offering a conclusion. Provided below is a chapter by chapter summary followed by brief concluding thoughts on the books strengths and weaknesses.Chapter one begins with a story of adultery and blame.
