My
Path to Purity is
a Christ centered program that empowers parents to confidently prepare their
pre-teens and teens to handle the important decisions they will encounter in
the coming years. Recognizing that these conversations can feel overwhelming,
the series provides biblically structured guidance that helps families build a
strong moral foundation rooted in God’s Word. The author encourages this to be
a weekend experience with parent and teen (girls with mothers; boys with
fathers), though you could adjust it to meet the needs of your family. The goal
is that the parent is the one who teaches these truths before the teen starts
picking up information from their peers or other influences. It is a part of
“training up a child in the way he should go.”
Inspired
by Pilgrim’s Progress, the program invites both parent and student to
journey toward the King’s Castle – symbolizing a life led by Christ. Along the
way, families are encouraged into meaningful conversations, deeper spiritual
connection, and memorable moments that strengthen their walk with God. As
students advance through the story, they encounter faith-building lessons that
shape character, nurture wisdom, and point their hearts toward the true King. Scripture

There
is a total of 12 sessions divided into three parts – Preparation, Pitfalls, and
Promises. Each teen will need their own Trail Guide which acts as a
journal. There is one for the Boys and one for the Girls and they include
questions, discussion prompts, activities, faith challenges, Bible promise
scriptures, and a closing prayer. The Parents’ Trail Guide contains all
the information for both the Girls’ Trail Guide and Guy’s Trail Guide and has
additional resources not found in the Child Trail Guides. The activity supply
list for each chapter is included in each chapter and in the appendix in the
back so the parent can be ready for each session. Also in the back is an
expanded discussion on Session 6 on puberty. It goes a little deeper into the
changes that will happen during this time for both the Girls and Boys. Audio
recordings are necessary and available as USB or download. They introduce
the main topic of each session and provide audio discussion at the end. The
