Sometimes it can seem as if friends are more work and pain than they're worth, with friendship challenges that we have to endure and struggle through.

Should a Christian join a secret society? What role does Nimrod and the Tower of Babel play in the grand scheme?

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.

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.
