Dannah Gresh (born 1967) is an author, speaker, and the founder of True Girl, a Christian tween event for mothers and daughters ages 8–12.[1] She is also the founder of Pure Freedom, a ministry which focuses on sexual theology, purity, and holiness for teens.[1][2] Books written by Gresh include And the Bride Wore White: Seven Secrets to Sexual Purity and Lies Young Women Believe: And the Truth that Sets Them Free which she co-authored with Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Life

[edit]

Gresh has said her interest in promoting abstinence before marriage originated from an experience she had at age 15, when she had sex with a teenage boy. After having sex, Gresh said she felt anxious and depressed.[3]

Gresh attended Cedarville University, where she met her husband.[4]

She lives in State College, Pennsylvania with her husband, Bob.

Recognition

[edit]

In 2021, She was named the Cedarville University "2021 Alumna of the Year."[5]

Beliefs about human sexuality

[edit]

Gresh promotes abstinence before marriage with an emphasis for young women.[6] Additional views on human sexuality include:

  • Abstinence is the only form of HPV prevention which is 100% effective[7]
  • A person can get addicted and bonded to the people they have sex with[8]
  • When a virgin woman's hymen breaks during intercourse, it forms a blood covenant between the woman, her husband, and God[9]
  • Immodest dress is sinful, causing men and boys to stumble[10]
  • Focusing on Jesus helps overcome PMS symptoms[10]
  • By submitting to authority, women earn God's protective covering[10]
  • A woman's value comes from fulfilling her designated role as a wife and mother[10]
  • Greater connection to God will stop the desire to masturbate[10]
  • Women should save every part of their heart and body for their future husband, because sex before marriage is a sin[10]
