Book Description
Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.

Book Description
Jason, like many people, is an addict. His addiction doesn't center on any drug or alcohol. He's a pornography and masturbation addict, and the insidious nature of his addiction erodes his self-worth, his relationships, and his career. Jason meets David at a twelve-step meeting, where David offers him a new approach to treating pornography addiction. Through a series of meetings, David guides Jason as he successfully overcomes his addiction, a process supported by glimpses into Jason's family and how his relationships improve as pornography loses its hold on his life. Jason's story is fictional. The treatment plan he follows is very real. Designed by author and pornography addiction treatment expert Brian Brandenburg, the strategies found in Power over Pornography are praised by those who, having taken part in Brandenburg's program, now pursue lives free of pornographic viewing. Brandenburg's innovative treatment plan comes at a crucial moment in the fight against pornography and masturbation addiction. A generation of Internet-savvy children has grown up with access to pornography, quite literally, at their keyboard-typing fingertips. The images and videos they view online are far more graphic than their parents can imagine. Now the children of this generation have become young adults, with many addicted to the instant gratification of pornography. Like Jason, most pornography and masturbation addicts are male, but women are also afflicted. Maintaining normal, healthy relationships becomes almost impossible while in the grip of pornography. Anxiety and guilt over your actions worsen into clinical depression and self-loathing. Work productivity suffers, and an addict with on-the-job access to the Internet is always a few mouse clicks away from job termination and scandal. Jason and others in his situation are discovering traditional twelve-step programs don't address key aspects of pornography and masturbation addiction. Brandenburg's radical treatment takes a new, often counterintuitive approach to overcoming pornography addiction. His advice sometimes contradicts traditional strategies, but his system works. A comprehensive, easy-to-understand approach to pornography addiction treatment, Power over Pornography appeals to all readers. You can overcome your addiction. Let Brian Brandenburg and Jason be your guides.

Book Description
In the author's ten years living in China, Chinese friends and foreign friends alike have told him that in many ways he is more like a Chinese person than an American. He sees himself as an ""egg,"" which is white on the outside and yellow (Chinese) inside. For cross-cultural ministry, we learn from the apostle Paul: ""I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some"" (1 Cor 9:22). Paul's purpose in becoming all things to all men is so that some may be saved. We can see this displayed in his preaching to the Athenians in Acts 17, how he becomes a local by relating to them through their culture. This book first looks at how we are to imitate Christ's love and humility to effectively love the locals to whom we are ministering. Then the book covers many specific aspects of life abroad and how we can better live like the locals in many areas that some may be saved. Though this book is particularly targeted for those readers who are ministering cross-culturally, it is also a very beneficial book for Christians aiming to be light in their home country. ""It is one thing to know these post-colonial principles as head knowledge, it is another thing to concretely live them out in the mission field. Mr. Laughlin has purged even the last bit of condescending demeanor, and become 'one among us.' As a theological educator who grew up in mainland China, I recommend this book to anyone who's interested in cross-cultural mission."" --Zhiqiu Xu, Associate Professor of Theology, Director of Chinese Seminary Studies, Columbia International University ""While many Christians are aware of the cross-cultural mandate imparted to us by our Savior, few are aware of the complexities involved in the process. Laughlin's book provides practical insights to Christians from all walks of life who sense a calling to crossing cultural and linguistic boundaries for the sake of the Kingdom."" --J. Scott Bridger, Author; Associate Professor of Global Studies & World Religions, Criswell College ""In Becoming Native to Win the Natives, [Laughlin's] honest words offer practical help for missionaries in any context. Rather than settle for mere principles, he gives perspective that will shape a missionary's head, heart, and hands. This is one of the first books I'll recommend to people wanting to work cross-culturally."" --Jackson Wu, Author, One Gospel for All Nations and Saving God's Face ""As one who lives cross-culturally for the sake of the Gospel, I am deeply appreciative of Tabor's book and it's contribution to the Great Commission. This book is a great primer for anyone crossing cultures."" --Dirk Canyon, Nineteen years in China reaching Tibetan Buddhists Tabor Laughlin has been living in China for ten years. He's the leader of a small missions organization there, overseeing about twenty workers in three cities. He got his bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering from Oklahoma State University, and his MDiv in Islamic Studies from Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He blogs occasionally on both China Source and Desiring God. He lives with his wife and daughter in China.

Writing from personal experience, Vicki Tiede offers daily readings and questions on six important topics: hope, surrender, trust, identity, brokenness, and forgiveness. She helps readers grow in healing and hope in the midst of marriage trials. By describing one of the "hidden sins" in our churches and culture that destroys marriages, the author offers biblical advice on a workable plan of action. She shares the stories of twenty-five women who have known this deep anguish, and she helps bridge the gap in the healing journey so many other materials leave out. She comforts readers and refreshingly points hurt women toward the one who calms the raging seas. Allowing God to meet your greatest needs is a long and learned process, but he promises to help you every step of the way. Questions and daily readings are suitable for both individuals and small groups.

Book Description
In this book with 640 pages, I gives details on how you can be free from the claws of masturbation and pornography through personal life experience.And it's about time that a book comes out to address this plague destroying the destinies of Christian youths' today. Masturbation and pornography addiction is a rampant endemic that is ravaging the lives of men, women, boys and girls around the world, whether we want to admit it or not.The shocking truth is that this canker-worm is found among Christian believers too!!!Nowadays, it is not hard to find a firebrand brother or sister having daily private struggles with masturbation and pornography.He may have an innocent look and could be a role model and mentor to others. She looks pious outwards but feels dirty and stinking inwards. From the seat of masturbation, he rises up for prayer meetings; from the depths of pornography, she mounts the pulpit and the supernatural manifests.The imaginations of his thoughts are an abomination, but, somehow, he is able to speak words of comfort to those who are weak and heavy-laden. She lives in a blend between light and darkness. Day in, day out, he suffers in silence, looking for a way out of the double-life he's living...In my 10 years personal experience in masturbation and pornography, the height of this double-life was when I was in my sophomore year at the University. A friend was telling me of how a young lady was caught masturbating in the toilet of the school's hallowed chapel ground during a revival program.Yes, it was easy to criticize the lady for her actions. But deep within me, I felt very discouraged because the only difference between myself and the girl was that I hid my habit better. I think it is obvious now that I am not writing from a position of stainless perfection.I've had my own battles and I have been cut and scarred in the warfare. I grew up with a strong Christian heritage and yet, somehow I found myself caught in the same web as thousands, if not millions of Christian youths all around the world.In case you have not yet come to terms with the scheme of things, as far as masturbation and pornography are concerned, take a look at these statistics:* 30 million users view porn with their mobile devices.* 56% of all divorce cases had one of the partners addicted to pornography.* In the UK, porn sites are accessed more than social media and shopping sites.* In 2014, the popularity of Nigerian Google searches for porn on a scale of 0 to 100 was above 80! The average number of monthly searches for porn by volume was 165,000.* 70% of people aged between 18 - 34 years visit porn sites at least once every month.* From 2001 to 2007, the revenue of internet porn industry went from $1 billion to $3 billion in the US alone.* 1 in 8 internet searches online is for erotic contents.* In a survey, 35% of the boys interviewed said that they had watched porn too many times to count.* In another survey, 70% of the Christians interviewed said they were struggling with pornography in their daily lives.* In a Christian conference, 75% of the men in attendance admitted to being involved with pornography.* 50% of all Christian men and 20% of all Christian women are addicted to pornography.* In 5 Christian campuses surveyed, 68% of the males intentionally viewed a porn site.* Over 20% of calls to a pastoral care line are for help on issues of masturbation and pornography.* In another survey for Christian clergymen, over 30% of the men admitted to watching pornography. 61% of these were married men who masturbated. 82% of these masturbated at least once a week. 13% of these felt it was a normal practice to masturbate.* In a survey of 500 Christian men, 90% felt disconnected to God on account of pornography consumption.The statistics are alarming, but they present a vivid picture of what is obtainable in Christianity worldwide today. Masturbation and Porn are robbing the world of Kingdom giants!!!
