    About this ebook

    With straight-to-the-point devos that dig into the life-changing messages of the True Love Project, teen guys will be given a new perception of the love and relationships God has intended for them. Just as Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness preparing for His ministry, young men are called to spend 40 days in the Word. For these 40 days, guys will live a life of purity and learn to reflect the relationship of the Trinity in their own relationships with others.

    In reading the 40 Days of Purity for Guys, teens will discover that their purity is a leading example in a misled world and is only made possible through a strength much greater than their own.

    This book is dedicated to Joe and Jane King, my parents who adopted me when I was just a few weeks old. They didn’t have a perfect marriage, but they stayed faithful to Christ and to each other all the way until death. They taught me more about love through their example than I could learn from a thousand books.

    The task of living your life for the glory of God is a tremendous challenge for any Christian. It’s even more difficult in a culture that shoves sex, porn, and lust in your face incessantly. Add to that the daily, even hourly struggle of trying to avoid sexual temptation, and it can at times seem nearly impossible.

    The truth is, it is impossible . . . if you try to do it on your own.

    It is impossible . . . if you don’t understand why you should live according to God’s plan.

    It is impossible . . . if you don’t know how to stand against the tide.

    It is impossible . . . if you don’t understand what you should do in your fight for holiness and godliness.

    It is impossible . . . if you don’t know who you are and whom you belong to.

    So we’re going to learn how to do this together, day-by-day. We’re going to see what God says in regards to giving your entire life, not just your relationships, to Him. We will figure out how to live your life on purpose based on who you are and who God is making you to be. You will see that it’s not too hard. It’s not too complicated. It’s not impossible.

    If you belong to Jesus Christ, His Spirit is in you, He is with you, and He is for you. And He has a greater purpose for your life than you could ever imagine.

    My life seemed fairly simple as a kid. Then I started middle school.

    Everything changed: my body, my desires, my thoughts, and my attention. I had always thought girls were gross. Then all of a sudden, they were all I could think about. And I wasn’t alone. My guy friends were going through a similar metamorphosis; so were all the girls we secretly dreamed about. This led to a new form of entertainment: relationships.

    Guys started flirting with girls, and girls started whispering about guys. What I once found disgusting suddenly became an obsession. All I wanted was a girlfriend! A girl would make me confident, secure, and cool. I would become one of the guys and be accepted by them if I could just get a girl to like me. I desperately hoped I would be chosen by a cute girl because that would validate me as a guy.

    But as the days became weeks and the weeks became months, not a single girl chose to like me. I became more self-conscious and more insecure. I wondered how I was going to convince a girl to like me when I wasn’t even sure if I liked myself. I was trying to fill the natural human desire to be noticed, to find affection and love through a relationship, but I kept coming up empty. I was emotionally vulnerable and spiritually insecure.

    Middle school turned into high school, and I grew a foot and lost forty pounds and became a football player. Girls began to notice me, and a few of them even chose to like me. It made me feel awesome for a little while, but I felt a deeper longing inside my heart. The security I hoped a girlfriend would bring me never came. I realized that only Jesus could fulfill my longing to matter, to belong, and to be chosen by someone.

    If you know that the God of the universe chose you to be His child, why would you ever let another person define who you are or who you will become?

    When you’re tempted to base your identity on a relationship, remember that Jesus gave up His life to give yours value. If a girl likes you one day only to reject you the next, remember Jesus’ love doesn’t flip-flop. He is consistent. He is faithful, and His love is eternal.

    Girls, dating, drama, and relationships are here today and gone tomorrow, but Jesus is the one consistent love you can always count on, no matter what. You’ve been chosen by God. Will you choose to make your relationship with Jesus the most important one in your life? You have a choice. Make the right one.
