Recovering from Purity Culture is now available!
My greatest hope for this book is that you will see that you don’t have to walk away from your faith or your values about sex in order to heal from purity culture.

When deconstructing purity culture, many people find themselves leaving faith altogether. But according to @DoctorCamden, that doesn’t have to be the case.

Last day to pre-order Recovering from Purity Culture and get the audiobook (and more!) for free!
You can order it wherever books are sold, but it's the cheapest at Baker Book House bakerbookhouse.com/products/…
This book is for you if…
-You want to understand more about the effects of purity culture
-You’re tired of still dealing with sexual shame even decades after youth group
-You’re disappointed that your sex life is nothing like what you were promised
-You’re stuck trying to disentangle your faith from the myths of purity culture
-You’re confused about your sexual ethic but don’t need another book telling you what to believe.
I hope you’ll pre-order wherever books are sold! drcamden.com/book
Let’s find the path forward
We know what is wrong with purity culture—now we need to know how to heal. Drawing on historical and psychological research, my own personal experience, and therapy case studies, my book tackles what comes next when it comes to reclaiming our sexuality from harmful teachings.
I am pleased to share my book, Recovering from Purity Culture: Dismantle the Myths, Reject Shame-Based Sexuality, and Move Forward in Your Faith, is available for pre-order now! drcamden.com/book

The myths of purity culture cannot be “turned off” in the mind because the trauma of those beliefs is stored in the body." - @DoctorCamden

5 stars for “The Exvangelicals” by @sarahmccammon.
From my review: “This book explains why ‘about one-third of Americans raised in evangelical households leave the tradition as adults’. We should all pay attention.”

When someone tells you to “just choose to not be affected by purity culture any more”, they are misunderstanding how trauma affects the body.
It’s not enough to just change your beliefs or cognitively know what’s myth and what’s truth.
The body has to get on the same page.

I'm fascinated by Madison Prewett Troutt's rebranding of purity culture as "female empowerment."
ALL of the purity culture myths are evident in her quotes here and in recent podcast interviews she's done.
This is purity culture 2.0

Shannon Harris’s new memoir “The Woman They Wanted” brings her voice into the story of “I Kissed Dating Goodbye.”
It also brings in an entirely different gospel.
@racheljwelcher has the review:

"Writing a book, making a movie, creating art, and then releasing it into the world for the world to do its worst and best and every iteration in between is absolutely terrifying. But you are not alone.”
So You Want to Write a Book?, by @lorewilbert open.substack.com/pub/lorefe…
"Where the biblical script can turn toxic is when Christian communities give cover to men who appear to be or present themselves as godly while causing great harm, or when passages about male headship are made into an ideology of hierarchy and domination."
"Pearcey’s treatment of masculinity weaves together many theological, sociological, exegetical, and historical threads. And while the scope and ambition of the project is impressive, the results are mixed."
