Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a message: girls are potential sexual “stumbling blocks” for boys and men. Teri Knight’s guest today is Linda Kay Klein. She is out with her book, “Pure – Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I broke Free”.
