Passionate Purity: Preserving Sexual Health - 2025

Christian men today face unprecedented challenges in maintaining sexual purity. Pornography consumption has reached epidemic proportions, even within the church, while sexual confusion pervades our culture. Yet God’s Word provides timeless wisdom for navigating these challenges.
Passionate Purity: Preserving Sexual Health offers a comprehensive, biblically-grounded approach to understanding and living out God’s design for human sexuality. Written by experienced biblical counselors and church leaders, this book addresses the root causes of sexual sin while providing practical tools for victory and restoration.
The journey begins with “The Maker’s Design for Sexuality,” where readers discover that sexual desire itself is not the enemy. God created sexuality as a sacred gift, designed to reflect the intimate union between Christ and His church. Like a skilled mechanic who studies the manufacturer’s specifications, Christian men must return to Scripture to understand sexuality’s divine purpose. This section explores God’s specific intentions in creating male and female, the unique roles each gender fulfills, and how sexual expression within marriage serves purposes far greater than personal pleasure.
“Why Sexuality is Sick” provides an unflinching examination of how humanity’s rebellion against God has corrupted His good gift. This chapter reveals how the “grand redesign” of sexuality has led to objectification, exploitation, and spiritual adultery. The authors demonstrate that sexual sin is fundamentally a worship disorder—a misdirection of the human heart toward created things rather than the Creator.
“Fighting Porn” moves beyond theoretical discussions to provide concrete tools for men struggling with pornography and related sexual sins. Drawing from Jeremiah 17’s imagery of trusting in the Lord versus trusting in man, this section offers hope for genuine transformation. The chapter presents a comprehensive heart model that helps readers understand the internal dynamics driving their behavior, addressing both external actions and heart motivations for lasting change.
“Developing a Next-Gen Mentality for Sexuality” addresses how Christian fathers can prepare the next generation for sexual purity in an increasingly corrupt culture. This section provides guidance for building strong “bridges” to the next generation through committed godliness, clear communication of biblical convictions, and practical engagement with children as they navigate sexual development.

Why This Book Matters

Passionate Purity distinguishes itself through its biblical foundation, heart-focused approach, and practical application. Rather than offering superficial behavioral modifications, it addresses the worship disorders that fuel sexual sin. Each chapter includes specific tools and strategies readers can immediately implement, from timeline exercises to accountability frameworks.
The key insight woven throughout these pages is that sexual purity is not primarily about behavior modification but about heart worship. When our hearts are captivated by God’s glory, when we truly love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we will naturally treat others with the respect and dignity they deserve as image-bearers of God.
