Pure In Heart: Sexual Sin and the Promises of God

Many women and men trapped in sexual sin believe willpower is the key to overcoming temptation, but your shaky self-discipline doesn’t have to be the source of your strength.

The goal isn’t purity for purity’s sake, but delighting in God and trusting him for ultimate victory.

Sharing from his personal struggles, Kell explains that life-long transformation rests in the supernatural power of the Savior and the support of a local church. He offers profound insights into Jesus’s teachings on purity and provides you with long-term strategies for your own pathway to freedom.

Written for both men and women struggling with temptation, this book is a resource for encouraging a healthy, empathetic community to help brothers and sisters in Christ resist sin.

“Garrett Kell comes alongside you in this book as a kind, thoughtful, and wise older brother who’s not immune to struggles with sexual purity himself. This is Bible-infused, gospel-centered gold—helpful, practical, and encouraging writing that raises the bar, saturates with grace, and shines the spotlight on Jesus.” — Shelby Abbott, campus minister; author, What’s the Point, Pressure Points, DoubtLess.
