Satan has a brutal war against God’s children using sexual immorality as his main weapon and he is relentless about it. We needed to have a strategic plan to fight back and protect our children and youth.

Purity: An Orthodox Christian curriculum contains a series of lessons designed for children and youth about the importance of purity and it can be taught during Sunday school, at home or in a retreat setting.

Each lesson for children and youth has been carefully developed to begin teaching young children about various topics such as keeping their bodies pure and what it means to be a Christian boy or girl. As your child grows, the age-appropriate lessons continue to enhance and reinforce previous lessons, topics such as peer pressure the negative effects of media and technology, drug and alcohol abuse, as well as sexual purity.

These themes are vital to the spiritual growth of our young people and it will equip your children and youth for the challenges that they may face as they mature.

While we understand that these topics can be sensitive, we want to assure you that each lesson has been specifically tailored to the needs of your child’s age. The material in this curriculum is presented in a simple way based on the Bible and our Orthodox Christian faith. It has also been developed and revised by professionals in this field.

2.0 out of 5 stars It’s a start. Got a long way to go.
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020
I applaud the authors for trying to tackle these difficult topics but they have only scratched the surface. They have a long way to go. I grew up in the environment the authors are targeting so I’m very familiar with the cultural and religious aspects of these topics. I have a lot to say but I’ll keep it as brief as possible. The section on touching was good but by using the words “private parts” instead of the actual name for the body part will make children feel ashamed of their body. The sections on how Christian boys and girls should act, dress, and play a certain way is not good. This makes those children that think or act a little differently feel rejected. I understand that the authors are trying to explain the science behind the two sexes but it didn’t work very well - it comes off as a list of rules that must be followed (do this and this or else you are not a good Christian). The section on puberty continues to use the words private parts/areas. The use of technical terms or vague words is not helpful either (nocturnal emesis that’s considered breaking the fast??, ungodly discussions, ungodly videos, ungodly habits). There is no discussion on menstruation and the common and incorrect teaching of avoiding communion at this time. The section on sexuality is generally good. I especially liked the six main purposes and the 6 words starting with the letter “C” and the fact that the authors explain that sex was made by God and should not be viewed as dirty. However, the message received from church is that sex is evil and dirty and that it’s best to be celibate. The communication point is vague since husbands THINK they have good communication and understand what sex is. There is no discussion on mutuality or the different view points and needs of husbands and wives. I would suggest reading the blog tolovehonorandvacuum.com
