Pure' was developed and written against a background of increasing promiscuity and godlessness in twenty-first century Britain. It offers an alternative to swimming with the tide. It looks at God's plan for creation, the impact of the fall, our wrong motives, and how we can live in harmony with God, which means of course living pure lives.
