Purity Reigns is about trusting God and prayer. You have to believe God for whatever you need. Mrs. Moore also lets us know that sex is not the way to go. Foster is a very good example of a good Christian. He is always there for Laurel whenever she is in trouble. Purity Reigns is a very good book. It touched my heart and my soul. I hope that Mrs. Moore continues to write more of these books. Reviewed by: Lauren OOSA's Teen Reviewer

I picked up this book and read it in 3 days. It was a wonderful story of a teenagers life and the things she faces!! I couldnt wait to get home from school just so I could pick up this book again. There was only one thing that I did not enjoy and that was Laurel finds the perfect man at the end of the story. He is so perfect that no other boy could ever conpare. I think the author should have been a little more realistic and guys. I do think that this is a book that every girl should read. It reminded me that I need to stay close to God no matter what.

This book was awesome. The typical teenage life of Laurel is easy to relate to. As she struggles with her faith, you learn with her. This book taught me new things about God. Even if you are not a Christian, I definately recommend it! The plot is good, and God just might tell you something. Read it today.
Couldn't put it down!

A few of my friends read this book and thought it was wonderful, so I had to read it. Once I started, I couldn't put it down! This book is exciting to read, and also has extremely important life lessons behind it. And because it is told from a teenage girl's point of view, I can relate to it even more. I would recommend this Laurel Shadrach series to any girl. A+! :)
Wonderful!

"Purity Reigns" is an excellent book, and I love it! My father bought it for me because he realized how important the message was. This book is great, because it gives a realistic situation of a girl struggling with what God and the Bible require of her; peer pressure, and her own personal desires. It accurately portrays the life of a high school girl with a boyfriend who wants to take things further than she is ready for, and her friends who must face the consequences of their actions. This is a great book for teens and preteens, even if they aren't struggling with the battle of sexual purity. I definitely recommend this book to anyone, Christian or not, and give it five stars and two thumbs up!
