There’s little doubt that pornography is a modern-day plague. Though
pornography has always existed in one form or another, the Internet has
created a medium through which it can be disseminated both widely and
discreetly. Almost an entire generation of boys has succumbed at one
time or another, with a new generation quickly falling into all of the
same traps. And it has not just been boys; many men have found the
temptation irresistible (and, of course, not a few women). While there
are some who try to downplay pornography’s impact on life and marriage,
evidence is mounting that it is a terribly destructive force.
Two
new books from New Growth Press address the issue head-on. One targets
men who are struggling with pornography or any other manner of sexual
sin and the other brings help and healing to women who have found that
their husbands have an addiction.
David White’s Sexual Sanity for Men
seeks to help men “understand that sexual sin starts in their minds and
hearts and shows them how knowing Christ breaks their chains, builds
spiritual brotherhood, and helps them take practical steps to re-create
their minds in a God-focused direction.” This is a study or a course as
much as a book. It is broken into fourteen chapters, each of which has
five parts. The idea is that you will read one chapter per week, and one
part per weekday, and hopefully meet with other men along the way.
There is a downloadable leader’s guide that allows it to be structured
as a group study. Continue at Tim Challies
