A thoughtful read

There's a thousand books on purity out there today, but this one captures the "why?" behind the call to chastity. Why bother with the struggle that is chastity and purity when so many people are telling you to cave into your desires and "do what makes you happy"? What many people don't realize and what this book is so keen on expressing is that our desires have a design written into them. Discovering the truth of your desires draws you to a freedom that is not found in fleeting moments of pleasure, but in a life lived on the pathway to the ultimate Source of all our desires. This book is approachable for teens as well as adults and is worth the read
