Lost innocence and one very difficult choice flood his conscience, and he is no longer sure what the future will bring except for this: He must find his old love and make amends. Haunted by the past and confused about the future, he turns to God seeking forgiveness and redemption.

    Sexual Detox by Tim Challies

    Sexual DetoxSexual Detox by Tim Challies

    Sick of porn? Time to detox. A huge percentage of men need a porn detox, a moral and psychological reset. Do you?

    Few Christian men indulge in porn without realizing they need to quit. Every Christian guy who looks at porn wants to stop, but many of us want to stop just a little bit less than we want to keep going. The problem isn’t knowledge-it’s desire and ability. So sin prevails. Here’s a promise. You’ll never stop until you begin to see the monstrous nature of the sin you’re committing. You’ll never stop until the sin is more horrifying to you than the commission of the sin is enjoyable. You’ll need to hate that sin before you can find freedom from it. That means you need more grace. You need to cry out to be changed and to see the monstrous nature of this sin. And then you need to behave in faith that God will meet you with grace as you act to cut off the porn and begin the reset.

    Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay

    Dear Mr. KnightleyDear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay

    Samantha Moore has always hidden behind the words of others—namely, her favorite characters in literature. Now, she will learn to write her own story—by giving that story to a complete stranger.

    Sam is, to say the least, bookish. An English major of the highest order, her diet has always been Austen, Dickens, and Shakespeare. The problem is, both her prose and conversation tend to be more Elizabeth Bennet than Samantha Moore.

    But life for the twenty-three-year-old orphan is about to get stranger than fiction. An anonymous, Dickensian benefactor (calling himself Mr. Knightley) offers to put Sam through Northwestern University’s prestigious Medill School of Journalism. There is only one catch: Sam must write frequent letters to the mysterious donor, detailing her progress.

    As Sam’s dark memory mingles with that of eligible novelist Alex Powell, her letters to Mr. Knightley become increasingly confessional. While Alex draws Sam into a world of warmth and literature that feels like it’s straight out of a book, old secrets are drawn to light. And as Sam learns to love and trust Alex and herself, she learns once again how quickly trust can be broken.

    Reminding us all that our own true character is not meant to be hidden, Reay’s debut novel follows one young woman’s journey as she sheds her protective persona and embraces the person she was meant to become.

    Hot Topics for Couples: What Husbands and Wives Aren't Telling Each OtherHot Topics for Couples: What Husbands and Wives Aren’t Telling Each Other by Steve Chapman

    Believing young love is great and real love improves with age, Steve and Annie Chapman offer proven insights for creating loving, lasting marriages.

    What sparked Hot Topics for Couples? Annie asked Steve if meat loaf, a staple, was okay for dinner. Steve replied, “I don’t like it.” Amazed, Annie asked why he’d never mentioned this. “You never asked.” So they decided to eliminate any areas of discomfort. Using their 35-year marriage, discussions with couples, and biblical wisdom, the Chapmans address wildfires such as:

    • he won’t talk/she won’t stop talking
    • he doesn’t do housework/she’s never in the mood
    • he is the “fun parent”/she has to discipline the children
    • he said he’d do it…someday/she never relaxes
    • he says Dallas Cowboys game/she says Butchart Gardens

    Using the interactive questions, couples can make their marriages more fulfilling and exciting.

    Shiloh Griffin has no identity outside of her roles as pastor’s wife and mom. Some days that is enough. But not always. Particularly when she is partnered with the always confident, always gracious Jade Smith on a church ministry project.

    Then Shiloh begins mentoring Monica, a fifteen-year-old student. When Monica learns she is pregnant, Shiloh must confront her own darkest secret in the desperate decision facing the teen. If she turns away, this teen’s life – and her soul – could be in jeopardy. If she decides to stand up and help, she knows she’s the one who risks losing everything.

    Stacy Hawkins Adams’s second book in the Winds of Change series finds Shiloh at a life-changing crossroads: keep her halo intact, or lose her honor to save the girl’s.
