Thank you to NetGalley and InterVarsity Press for a free digital copy for my review.

I have already recommended this book to so many friends as I was reading it because this book does not bash evangelical purity culture, but rather it critiques the places where it missed the mark and/or overlooked people and situations.

I love how tender and kind Welcher is while standing firm in her beliefs and her interpretation of scripture. She makes the point several times that as a human she is flawed and she may not have handled every topic perfectly, but in my opinion she gives such room for grace that she really served her readers well with her words.

This is not an easy read. It covers hard topics and makes you examine why you believe the things you do related to sexuality. But I highlighted more of this book then I have perhaps ever highlighted of a book. There are so many good nuggets of truth within these pages. Too many to even choose one to feature here.

Every chapter ends with discussion questions and an activity suggestion that Welcher encourages you to complete in a group setting. This would be a great book for a small group to walk through together.
