About this listen

"The problem was, because purity is an idol (a validated and worshiped idol), I didn’t know who or what I’d be without my totem. My Christianity depended on purity.”

Going to a conservative Christian church when she was young, Brenda Marie Davies heard a consistent message - save yourself for marriage - that instilled in her fear and shame about sex. But after moving to Los Angeles at 19 and finding herself suddenly exposed to a world far outside her comfort zone, she was forced to wrestle with the power and perversity of Christian purity culture.

On Her Knees chronicles Brenda’s spiritual journey over the course of a decade in LA through marriage, divorce, unlikely friendship, and sexual exploration. Through it all, she began tearing down the false idol of purity while refusing to abandon her faith. Told with raw honesty, sans obligatory shame, this is a story for anyone who wonders if it’s possible to love God without fearing sex, in all its shades of grey.

I absolutely loved this! Brenda’s refreshingly honest journey from evangelical purity culture to sexual integrity was beautiful to listen to. Would definitely recommend!

An absolutely wonderful book full of honesty, love, pain, joy and reconciliation to oneself. This book is a must read for anyone raised within Purity Culture, and for anyone who is currently perpetuating the harmful ideologies that Brenda so beautifully unpacks in this memoir.

Brenda is such an incredible storyteller, and her writing really gets you. This book made me angry, happy and teary eyed, I felt everything listening to this audiobook and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s such a personal and important book, and I’m so glad she got to tell her story and spread her love and kindness with readers.

A powerful read

The swearing is constant, glamorising everything unbiblical. Brenda seems a nice lady but this book revels in sex parties, curse words and crude living.
