I’m pretty sure I’ve read every book on purity, and I’ve done quite a few Bible studies and traveled for conferences, too. I’d recently started hanging out with a boy named Ryan, told my mom I was in love with him, and – by the encouragement of his and other moms – called him “my boyfriend.” Even if it was a joke, she and my dad still read the book together, highlighting and paper-clipping and underlining, trying to figure out how to navigate dating and maybe even spare their children of the mistakes they’d made when they were younger.Īs I grew up, my family and I became entrenched in the purity culture movement. My mom introduced me to I Kissed Dating Goodbye when I was around thirteen by jokingly telling me that she’d originally purchased the book when I was in kindergarten. Joshua harris, i survived i kissed dating goodbye.
