 A
Higher Pleasure is within Reach (pdf)
The Purity Principle includes practical guidelines
to protect purity, for singles, for married couples,
and for parents who wish to train their children in
purity. These include controlling the television and
internet, and offering alternatives for how to spend
our time. It also includes confession, repentance
and developing biblical accountability that doesn't
just admit sin, but prevents it.
One reader wrote in response:
The Purity Principle may be the shortest book you
will ever read on the subject of purity. Yet in 93
pages, it packs a very powerful message. After reading
the first few pages—pages filled with heart-breaking
stories of those who have chosen impurity and the
devastating consequences of their actions—I began
to understand how high the stakes are when we play
games with our purity.
Because of how I've been raised, I have always believed
that impurity is wrong. But one of Mr. Alcorn's points
took me by surprise. Impurity is not just wrong. It's
stupid. Why? Well, you will just have to read the
book. It makes a convincing case for the pros of purity
and the cons of impurity that never leaves you bored.

One of the saddest
things to me is the fact that we have become so morally soft
as a Christian culture. And one of my favorite things about
this book is that it challenges us to take the high road in
remaining pure and reaping the benefits that come from it.
This book has certainly challenged my commitment to God and to
myself to stay sexually and emotionally pure for the one
special person that God has in mind for me. And I hope it will
challenge you too. I would recommend this book for all young
adults and teens.
- book review by Megan O'Rourke
Every young person needs to read this book . . . and every
adult, for that matter. There are few issues that cause such
ruin and devastation. For the sake of our families and loved
ones, spread the word about this outstanding little book from
Randy Alcorn.
- book review by The Discerning Reader
I just finished reading this powerful book. I have read MANY
books on the topic of sexual struggles and I must say this one
dealt most succinctly and directly with the topic. It was
to-the-point, in-your-face, and a refreshing look at some
basic truths we all need to be reminded. I highly recommend
this short, power-packed book!

The Purity Principle is short, engaging, and easy to read. It makes a strong case for keeping sexual sins out of your life and offers practical advice, as well as biblical encouragement, for developing a lifestyle free of sexual misconduct. This book was well-received by my non-Christian friends, too, so don't hesitate to buy extra copies for them! Well worth the read. - S. C.
