Resources to Protect You and Your Family’s Purity
Disclaimer: Not every book or author included below should be considered as endorsed by Purity Plan Ministries. This list is simply for reference and as an explanation of some of the purity resources that our ministry has reviewed. Dave Brady is a separated Independent Baptist who stands against much of the thought and practice of the broader Evangelical world. Some of the resources below may mention names or movements or give advice within their pages that should be avoided. The reader should use spiritual discernment and judge every book by the Bible.

V. Where to Start with this List (“My Suggestions and Comments”)
Any man/woman who is struggling would need  to meet weekly for accountability…For a person to begin to walk the road to pure living, start with Slay the Dragon by David Brady. It is foundational to everything else. I believe I would also get a copy of Jim Binney’s or Dave Sorenson's book above. Jim Berg’s Purity videos and Changed into His Image should also be obtained.  If a person has already fallen deeply, he should read Roy Hession's book listed above. As a side note, any man/woman who is continually struggling would also need to meet weekly for accountability with someone who knows how to deal with his 3 heart issues of selfishness (self-centeredness), pride and unbelief. Jim Berg's DVDs would be a great help on some of these issues. Finally, the person should start a scripture memory program (see my Scripture memory flip-chart at purityplan.org).

Our online Sexual Purity Course, Journey to Victory, is a comprehensive, Christ-centered resource and comes from a thoroughly Fundamental Baptist position covering the spiritual ingredients for freedom from sexual sin. Each of the 15 sessions is a lesson video with weekly homework. (A Leader’s Edition can also be obtained which includes direction for a person who is counseling another person towards sexual purity.) Every struggling believer should invest in this resource. It works well for any adult, and would be relevant to upper High School ages, as well. 

A final thought: None of the books above are "stand alone" help for a person who is struggling with sexual sin. He/she will need more than a single book to overcome a years-long besetting sin. The resources listed will directly address the subject of purity, however, and if the person is meeting regularly with someone who will hold him accountable, these resources will provide good material to discuss weekly. Of course, the only real way to freedom from sexual sin is found in Jesus. Don’t let these resources take the place of an emphasis on daily dependence on Christ, Scripture memory and meditation, and listening to the Holy Spirit’s voice in your life.
As always, we are here to help with questions. Our ministry specializes in helping people find freedom in Christ. Please reach out to us if we can help you or your family or church in any way.
