Reviews
Riveting and important... The relevance for this both inside and outside of the Christian community is immense, and this is a book that should stir intense thought about the way we all live., Linda Kay Klein is the perfect woman for the job, with her personal experience with the subject matter, willingness to critically examine long-held beliefs, and deep empathy for her interview subjects. Every woman-in fact, every person, religious or not-would do well to read this heartbreaking but hopeful book., A young woman raised as a conservative Evangelical Christian reflects on her community's sexual shaming and the psychological scars that it left... Klein's personal story is fascinating, but it is the larger context that makes the book important... Timely and relevant, particularly in the age of Trump and #MeToo., Pure is above all for those who came out of the purity movement ---a guidebook for survivors...its final message is healing through the movements that have arisen to combat purity culture., Klein explores how purity culture within evangelical Christianity causes girls and young women to feel shame about sex and sexuality... will surely cause debate within evangelical circles., "Linda Kay Klein's PURE is an important book for this moment in history, as women come to the collective understanding that the institutions we spend our lives serving are not created to serve us. Women are canaries in religious coal mines--and PURE emboldens us to escape toxic misogyny and experience a fresh breath of freedom." --Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of LOVE WARRIOR and founder of Together Rising, She combines memoir with survivor interviews and research on shame, sexuality, and religion to effectively argue that the evangelical sexual purity movement has done lasting harm to many of the women who embraced its message as teens in the '90s and early 2000s., Pure is a thorough and focused study on the effects of the purity movement's rhetoric on women and girls, but Klein stresses that her findings aren't relevant only to religious conservatives. Rather, they represent an extreme microcosm of a broader culture of gendered sexual shaming to which we should all be paying attention., "More and more young adults are speaking openly about the harm done to them by churches that treated sex as if it were an illicit drug. When 'Just say no' was their only message, and when the language of purity was their main ethical category, deep and lasting personal damage were inevitable. That's why Linda Kay Klein's new book is so important. It pulls back the covers on 'purity culture' and the harm it has done to a whole generation. An important book from an important new voice." --Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration, Linda Kay Klein's book about the devastating effects of Christianity's obsession with purity culture is a revelation... Part memoir and part journalism, Pure is a horrendous, granular, relentless, emotionally true account., To those outside the church, Klein offers a well-researched insider's point of view. To those affected by the purity movement, Klein offers a healing balm through personal testimony. To both she offers an invitation to further discourse as we seek to make our culture a safer place for all people., Eye-opening....compelling....For those who seek spiritual community without gender bias, Klein offers empathy and new choices., "Klein's book will get God up doing a standing ovation in creation for revealing that God's message is to love all of ourselves--mind, body, and spirit. This is to embrace the gift of life and to live in freedom with integrity and joy. Any form of purity that does not celebrate this, does not celebrate God working in our lives." --Emilie M. Townes, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of Womanist Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt University Divinity School, "Linda Kay Klein takes us inside religious purity culture as only one who grew up in it can. She shows us how the system of mind-and-body shaming works within a religious movement so culturally and politically influential that it must be understood by us all." --Gloria Steinem

Synopsis
In the 1990s, the purity movement emerged within the white evangelical Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual "stumbling blocks" for boys and men, and any expression of a girl's sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This is the "sex education" Linda Kay Klein grew up with. In Pure, she pulls back the curtain on the secret lives of evangelical girls like herself who were traumatized by this message, trapped in a cycle of shame. In intimate conversations with scores of women and others, Klein found that sexual dysfunction, bizarre coping mechanisms, and PTSD-like symptoms are widespread. Determined to heal herself and provide hope for others, she embarked on a twelve-year quest that uncovered an epidemic of sexual shaming and led her to churches that are seeking a new way to reconcile sexuality and spirituality. Sexual shaming is by no means confined to evangelical culture. Pure is a groundbreaking wake-up call to reevaluate sexual ethics in our churches and our society. Book jacket., In Pure, Linda Kay Klein uses a potent combination of journalism, cultural commentary, and memoir to take us "inside religious purity culture as only one who grew up in it can" (Gloria Steinem) and reveals the devastating effects evangelical Christianity's views on female sexuality has had on a generation of young women. In the 1990s, a "purity industry" emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual "stumbling blocks" for boys and men, and any expression of a girl's sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This message traumatized many girls--resulting in anxiety, fear, and experiences that mimicked the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder--and trapped them in a cycle of shame. This is the sex education Linda Kay Klein grew up with. Fearing being marked a Jezebel, Klein broke up with her high school boyfriend because she thought God told her to and took pregnancy tests despite being a virgin, terrified that any sexual activity would be punished with an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. When the youth pastor of her church was convicted of sexual enticement of a twelve-year-old girl, Klein began to question purity-based sexual ethics. She contacted young women she knew, asking if they were coping with the same shame-induced issues she was. These intimate conversations developed into a twelve-year quest that took her across the country and into the lives of women raised in similar religious communities--a journey that facilitated her own healing and led her to churches that are seeking a new way to reconcile sexuality and spirituality. Pure is " a revelation... Part memoir and part journalism, Pure is a horrendous, granular, relentless, emotionally true account" (The Cut) of society's larger subjugation of women and the role the purity industry played in maintaining it. Offering a prevailing message of resounding hope and encouragement, " Pure emboldens us to escape toxic misogyny and experience a fresh breath of freedom" (Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and founder of Together Rising).
