A young person’s entry into biblical views of relationships. Chastity is a word that isn’t used much these days, but it means exercising sexual self–control in line with the moral teachings of the Bible. It means honoring God, respecting others, and embracing the liberating beauty of God’s order. But how do we do that in today’s recreational dating culture? And how do we think about dating and, ultimately, marriage? David Ayers has written this helpful little book to help you think through these questions, and understand why this is such an important part of the Christian life.
This could be titled “A Student’s Guide to Chastity” since that was almost exclusively what it was about—nothing wrong with that, but I was expecting a broader overview on different aspects of relationships and marriage in addition to chastity. That being said, it was very thorough in the areas it did touch on, and while not much of the content was new to me, would be a practical resource for many older teens and young adults—especially those newer to the faith who are learning what it looks like to glorify God with their bodies and in relationships.
