Bless you! This is Brenda's lived experience and throughout the book she paints a clear picture of what she went through up til now, but she also weaves important topics in and out of the chapters as it relates to her experience. Somehow my heart clasped onto the idea that he was the one. I had no choice but to be divorced.

The all or nothing attitudes toward faith can make us feel like never being enough for God or for our sisters and brothers in Christ. I couldn't put this book down. In many of our conversations, I blamed purity culture. I had pre-ordered Brenda's book because I've gotten to know her and her content through her Godisgrey YouTube channel.

I started the book on a Monday afternoon and finished it by the following morning. Thought provoking and insightful, this memoir is a read you won't want to put down. Not only is the subject matter very relatable to me and my personal experience of purity culture but it was also beautifully written.

Thank you Brenda for being so open, it honestly brings a lot of comfort to me. This book is not only insightful to her struggles and overcoming of them, but moving and so relatable.

This is HER story and I appreciate her being so vulnerable and real with all of us! ”Now, It is a year and a half since my husband - the one I waited for, the only man I’ve kissed and was with sexually- left me. Moreover it was supplemented by evangelical ideas that “God will tell you who to marry” instead of dating. Brenda shares soul gripping stories from her life that shatter the glass walls Purity encases himself in.

Brenda continues to be an unending well of talent and wisdom as demonstrated in this book. Brenda is an extremely talented writer! As someone who also grew up in fundamental Christianity and has been affected by purity culture teachings, On Her Knees was very healing for me to read. The more sexual we got, the more I was convinced we could never break up.
