Introduction -- Keep your way pure... or else -- For women who profess reverence for God -- The works of the flesh -- At all times -- Not even a hint -- Male and female he created them -- As long as he lives -- I suffer not a woman -- Greater love -- Healing paths diverge -- Conclusion.
"An examination of purity culture from the creator of the #ChurchToo movement. Sexual abuse is utterly rampant in Christian churches in America. And the reasons are somewhat different than those you might find in the #MeToo stories coming out of Hollywood or Washington. #ChurchToo turns over the rocks of the church's sexual dysfunction, revealing just what makes sexualized violence in religious contexts both ubiquitous and uniquely traumatizing, and lays the groundwork for survivors of abuse to live full, free, health lives."--Back cover.
