Overview
With over 300,000 copies sold, readers continue to applaud And the Bride Wore White
This book is one woman’s freedom story. Jesus is the Author—the One who redeems, restores, and rewrites broken stories. In this updated edition of her bestselling book, And the Bride Wore White, Dannah Gresh tells the story of her young love life, revisiting her own teenage journals. She vulnerably shares her struggles and successes, her moments of pain followed by healing, and the eventual triumph of living in sexual integrity.
The words in this book will help you:
- Cultivate a deep, satisfying love relationship with Jesus that shapes every other desire.
- Discover your God-given worth and walk in dignity—in how you dress, date, and define yourself.
- Invite trusted leaders into decisions about your relationships—and learn why that’s not weakness, but wisdom.
- Practice having bold, real-life conversations about boundaries and safety.
- Find a mentor, build Christian community, and pursue spiritual growth that lasts a lifetime.
- Trade shame for grace and begin a lifelong journey of sexual integrity—no matter your past.
I grew up during the peak of the purity movement, a time when many of us were taught to treasure purity but sometimes with a heavier emphasis on rules than on grace. While some elements of that movement were unhelpful, the core truth remains: God calls us to live in purity. In And the Bride Wore White, Dannah Gresh masterfully preserves everything valuable about that call—the beauty of honoring God with our bodies and relationships—while gently stripping away the parts that can feel legalistic. Through her own story and heartfelt insight, she equips readers with both biblical truth and practical wisdom for walking in sexual integrity and hope, no matter their past. This is a wonderful book that I believe can benefit all believers—whether you’re revisiting these themes as a parent, a mentor, or someone pursuing Christ-centered holiness yourself. I hope you will read it!
