Pride In Purity

A word from the author . . .

A “Culture Change” is the call and challenge throughout the pride in purity series. Sincere prayer and a godly walk, from those who call on the name of Jesus, will assist women of all ages to live holy unto the Lord. My desire is to inspire women from every culture to commit to reading the Bible and preparing themselves for two very important decisions. Salvation first, possessing a surrendered and obedient relationship with Christ; and marriage second, waiting on the Lord’s counsel before making a dreadful mistake. May the readers of this book and God’s Word, enable unaware sisters to share in these principles, turning the world right-side-up.

Book 1 . . . Pride in Purity

” Solid Foundation “

This is the first of seven book studies/devotional. Prideinpurity (Solid Foundation) is written for women of all ages. For women who desire to hear the voice of God, and understand the deep richness and transforming power of His Word. This book is written for women young and old, who seek the inheritance that was promised, before the foundation of the world!

Foreword

I suppose God had inspired me to write this book many years ago. It had always been my desire to marry before knowing a man intimately, but unfortunately, this was not the case. Years of thinking “If only” and a challenge from a godly woman, led me to search my heart and pray about how I could possibly speak into the hearts of young girls before they make the same mistake – sin. God has now given me the privilege to do just that, and it gives me great the pleasure to introduce you to this devotional with the hope that you would refer to it often, if not daily! Let your physical and spiritual eyes search these pages for solid truths and legitimacy, lining it up with God’s Word and Principles, Acts 17:11. This is the first of seven devotionals/Book studies. Solid Foundation is written for women of all ages. My heart’s desire is that you would hear the voice of God, understand His Word, and live before Him with pure motives.

Book II . . . Ribblets

” Growing Pains “

13 – 18 yrs

Ribblets is the second of seven book studies. “God created from man, the most stunning, delicate, and beautiful being ever formed. He breathed deeply into the lungs of the “helper” and gave her life. He instructed her heart and mind to obey, and make her own choices. And when He opened the eyes of this magnificent creature and took her by the hand; she obeyed the first command and walked alongside Him.” Now, some two thousand years later, what does this magnificent creature look like?

Book III . . . Lady in Waiting

” Serving While Waiting “

18 – 25 yrs

Lady in Waiting is the third of seven book studies… “All eyes are on the Bride. Her delicate veil, is powerful and mysterious, punctuating her sacred vow to God and her husband. Her neck displays the purest of pearls, and her dress is simply stunning; the train is at least ten yards long. Her shoes, well, of course, they are made of the finest of silk from South East Asia, for this reserved affair. She is magnificently and beautifully adorned. Yes, all eyes are on the Bride as she glides down the aisle, letting everyone gaze upon her beauty.  As she approaches the altar, her mind is on one person, herself… Wait, what?!” 

Book IV . . . Man’s Best Friend

” Restoration “

25 – 30 yrs

Man’s Best Friend is the fourth of seven book studies. Marriage is a gift from God. When a man and woman are joined together it is for one purpose; to better serve Him! And just as serving Him can be a difficult narrow road to walk down, marriage can be that way too. But oh, how sweet it is, when two can walk together and agree! Do you believe that God is a God of restoration? Do you believe that the work He began, He will complete?

Book V . . . Faithfulness

” Still Accountable “

30 – 50 yrs

Faithfulness is the fifth of seven book studies. This book is not for the faint-hearted woman. Nor is it for silly women, ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of His truth… It is written for women who desire to “follow-hard” after Jesus Christ. The words penned in it are tough but true.

Book VI . . . Just Getting Started

50+ yrs

Just Getting Started is the sixth of seven book studies.   Baby Boomers are a unique generation; some say, “Fifty” is the new “Thirty”. So what is required of us? Who has this gift of longevity, this fountain of youth? The book gleans from the lives of Abraham and Sarah who were recipients of God’s great wisdom and strength when walking close to Him in the “Golden years” of their lives. It reveals, that just when you think you’ve accomplished everything in life, and you’re ready to settle down; you’ve only just begun!

Book VII . . . Pure Testimonies

” Heart Cries “

Pure Testimonies, is the seventh of seven book studies.  Here, you will find testimonies that stem from the darkest depths of Hell to the glorious heights of Heaven. Only the humble saints from these pages can truly say, “One thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.” *Makes for a great book study for all ages!
