Book Description
Pornography catapulted to the forefront of the American women's movement in the 1980s. In Battling Pornography, Carolyn Bronstein locates the origins of anti-pornography sentiment in the turbulent social and cultural history of the late 1960s and 1970s. Based on extensive original archival research, the book reveals that the seeds of the movement were planted by groups who protested the proliferation of advertisements, Hollywood films and other mainstream media that glorified sexual violence. Over time, feminist leaders redirected the emphasis from violence to pornography to leverage rhetorical power. Battling Pornography presents a fascinating account of the rise and fall of this significant American social movement and documents the contributions of influential activists on both sides of the pornography debate, including some of the best-known American feminists.

Finally Free

Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310499240
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Eight gospel-centered strategies for overcoming the lure of pornography and finally breaking free. This book is not about pornography. You won't find graphic depictions about the porn industry, the catastrophic effects it has on individuals and relationships, or how to think differently about porn. If you're reading this book, you probably have some understanding of those things already—the last thing you need is to be subjected to that kind of detail...again. Finally Free is about hope. It's about discovering the freeing power available to those who trust in Jesus Christ, who can, will, and does set people free from the power of pornography. Dr. Heath Lambert, a leader in the biblical counseling movement, has organized this book around eight clear and practical tactics you can wield to make it easier to flee lust and temptation and shelter in the protection of God's grace. Each chapter: Clearly demonstrates how the gospel applies to the fight against sexual temptation. Lays out relevant methods for leaning on Christ's strength—both in advance of and in moments of temptation. Explains how Jesus can move readers from a life of struggle to a life of purity. If you've struggled personally against the powerful draw of pornography, or if you've ever tried to help someone fighting this battle, you know how hard it is to break its bonds. But there is good news: no matter how intense or long-standing the struggle, Jesus Christ has the power to free people from the enslaving power of pornography. The Gospel has a power that works practically in the lives of those who seek to imitate Christ—and you can learn how to live into that power.

Overcoming Pornography Addiction
Author: J. Brian Bransfield
Publisher: Paulist Press
ISBN: 0809147971
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
J. Brian Bransfield presents in this book the struggle of internet pornography in the context of the encounter of Jesus with the Woman of Samaria. Many today find themselves in a similar place. They are hungry for Jesus, but continually fall short. Men in particular experience the pain of internet pornography. Overcoming Pornography Addiction presents the practical way in which the teaching of the church can move us from sin to grace, from pain to healing, through an honest appraisal of the pain of internet pornography and the wonderful beauty of grace and virtue. Unique to this title is its emphasis on Pope John Paul's theology of the body in regard to the freedom from internet pornography. This work also places the treatment of the topic in the context of a familiar gospel story of Jesus with the woman of Samaria, who herself has suffered much at the hands of many men. Using familiar images, popular teaching, and incorporating an understanding of addiction and human sexuality, this work appreciates the struggle of persons suffering from internet pornography use and recognizes their human dignity and worth. +

Paul's Financial Policy
Author: David E. Briones
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0567361810
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This book attempts to prove the consistent nature of Paul's financial policy by drawing from his social environment and theological convictions to tease out a three-way relational pattern with God as the source of all possessions. This three-way relational framework not only dictates Paul's decision to accept or reject finances from his churches but also directly challenges long-standing claims made about Paul's financial policy. After outlining the various approaches that scholars have taken to make sense of Paul's seemingly inconsistent financial policy, this book provides a close exegetical analysis of relevant passages in Philippians, 1 Corinthians, and 2 Corinthians in order to unearth a three-way relational pattern found in Philippians but that is absent from the Corinthian Correspondence. In Paul's positive gift-exchange relationship with the Philippians, God is acknowledged as the source of all possessions, whereas the Corinthians are criticized for striving after two-way exchanges that result in honor, power, and prestige.After this is demonstrated, a socio-theological reason for Paul's refusal of Corinthian gifts is propounded. Paul refused Corinthian support, not because they desired to patronise him as a dependent client, but because they sought to be under Paul as their superior, an act that neglected God as the superior source of all gifts in the divine economy. Paul therefore refuses their support to avoid two-way relationships of gift so prevalent in ancient society and to underscore the source of the gift of the gospel, the one from whom and through whom and to whom are all things - God.

Book Description
Ever struggled to find the right words to talk about the threat of pornography with your kids? Too many of us avoid the subject, depending on simple technology filters to protect them. Yet children at very early ages are under attack and at risk to fall prey to pornography addiction. As parents, we must be prepared to deal with the issue head-on. Every Parent’s Battle: A Family Guide to Resisting Pornography not only exposes the frightening prevalence of pornography in our sex-obsessed culture, it equips parents with concrete and tested strategies to educate their kids about intimacy, human dignity, and sexuality as God intended it to be. “Dan Spencer’s new book … provides Catholic and other parents with tools and strategies that are aimed at prevention, rather than recovery, in the spiritual battle for the virtue of chastity…. I heartily recommend this book for your family’s happiness and the joyful embracing of life and dignity offered to us by Jesus Christ.” — ARCHBISHOP JOSEPH F. NAUMANN, ARCHDIOCESE OF KANSAS CITY, KANSAS “The Roman Empire was a pornographic society - with all the misery that implies - but our own society is far worse. History shows that this problem can be overcome in only one way: the way of the Christian family. Dan Spencer shows us, in practical terms, what that means for us as parents. Reading this book is not just a good idea. It’s a duty.” — MIKE AQUILINA, EWTN HOST AND AUTHOR OF SEVEN REVOLUTIONS: HOW CHRISTIANITY CHANGED THE WORLD AND CAN CHANGE IT AGAIN
