The battle to resist pornography is brutal. Its lure just seems too powerful.We've tried for years to be strong, run away from temptation, and manage our desires in better ways. No matter how hard we try, though, we just can't get free from pornography. Some of us have lost all hope.What if the battle you've been fighting isn't even the real battle?What if using pornography is just a symptom of something deeper going on inside of you?What if the things you are doing to protect yourself actually contribute to your obsession?Have you had thoughts like I'm the only one struggling like this, God must be so ashamed of me, or I've got to get stronger to overcome this? These thoughts are common. But they are also lies.10 Lies Men Believe about Porn holds these lies up against the truth of Scripture. You'll learn how they deceive us into missing out on the freedom Christ offers us. Ultimately, you'll discover that the message of the gospel isn't about learning to fight better--it's about no longer needing to fight at all. That is the type of freedom Jesus came to offer you. That's why they call it the Good News."You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32).

Taking a refreshingly hands-on approach to introductory ethics, A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox provides students with a set of tools to help them understand and make a constructive difference in real-life moral controversies. Thoroughly optimistic, it invites students to approach ethical issues with a reconstructive intent, making room for more and better options than the traditional "pro" and "con" positions that have grown up around tough problems like abortion and animal rights. Ideal for introductory and applied ethics courses, this unique text does not treat ethics as a purely academic, historical, or theoretical subject, but as a wide-ranging and ongoing set of challenges that calls for multiple and interwoven kinds of intelligence. It covers the skills that are most vital to making real progress in ethics, including paying careful attention to the values at stake on all sides of an issue; looking for creative opportunities within difficult problems; critical-thinking skills such as defining key terms and making sure to judge similar cases alike; and learning how to engage in constructive dialogue. Instructors can readily use the experiential and applied activities inspired by this "toolbox" of practical skills to design an interactive and collaborative ethics course. Students can carry these essential skills directly from this book into such projects as campaigning for environmental awareness and staffing local homeless shelters. In addition to his own discussion, Weston includes gripping and provocative short selections from essayists, activists, and philosophers, and also cites his own students. Extensive "Exercises and Notes" sections end each chapter, and a detailed appendix offers instructors advice on how to use the Toolbox in the classroom.
