About:

For the modern Christian woman, embracing God's design for sexuality can often feel like an impossible pursuit. As the culture around us seeks to normalize things such as lust, pornography, erotica, and casual sex, you may be feeling immense pressure to conform. In this relatable and encouraging book, Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal share honestly about their own struggles and victories and dig into topics such as

· how your longings for intimacy point to a deeper need
· why God's original design for love, passion, and sex is good
· how to deal with secret sexual struggles
· and much more

Kristen and Bethany invite you on a personal journey to discover and reclaim a biblical vision for your sexuality--one that is good and relevant and will lead you toward true hope and lasting freedom.

My Review:

With love, friendship and the ability to know what you're going through, Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal are here to encourage you in your purity walk. They're very relatable, and don't make you feel as if what you've done, the sins you struggle with, are confined to you. They've done it too, and are very transparent as they tell their stories to let you know you're not alone. 

This book is for women on all levels of the relationship spectrum, from the forever single, those burned out by relationships, the ladies currently dating, or even those who've been married for years. Because, as the sisters explain, the problems you go through when you're single don't just magically disappear once you're married. It takes God's love and grace to get you through it. 


To be honest, I've never really struggled too much with some the topics Bethany and Kristen confront - as Paul would say, I've got other thorns in my life - but their book was really encouraging for me to read. It's for anyone, and I love the candid and fresh way Bethany and Kristen approach the topics of love and sex. The book seemed strengthened as well since the girls are sisters and that seemed to lend it something special. Plus, isn't the cover gorgeous?! I had no idea who the authors were or what the book was about, but when I saw it I wanted to read it. 

Bethany and Kristen are two special people who honestly share their heart and love for others in Sex, Purity and the Longings of a Girl's Heart, and I encourage you to check this book out- it's something every woman needs to read.
