PURE – Inside the Evangelical Movement…

In the 1990s, a “purity industry” emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. 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”. Linda talks about why it took her a dozen years to write the book, the research she did talking with dozens of other women, the difference between a “Christian” and an “Evangelical Christian”, how she broke free and how she remains faithful to God. lindakayklein.com
