Reading this book is like walking through a doorway into a deeper Christian maturity and understanding of God's plan for us.

 

It began with a casual glance at a girlie magazine but turned into something far more insidious.  "Innocent" fascination with softcore pornography eventually led to skin flicks, frequent visits to strip clubs, and encounters with prostitutes.  Jack Hall's secret obsession with just that - a secret.  And right before her eyes, Laurie watched her husband dissolve into a shadow of the man she loved.  None of it made sense. 

Compelling and poignant, An Affair of the Mind tells the story of one woman's struggle to protect herself and her children from the devastating effects of pornography.  With both candor and sensitivity, Laurie Hall relives the nightmare that destroyed her marriage, warning others of porn's seductive, addictive nature.  She opens her heart and bares her soul, imparting keen insights and comfort.

Laurie Hall's story is not an isolated case.  Studies show that about half of all homes are affected by this hidden enemy of marriage.  Whether pornography has affected your life personally or you are the caring friend of someone who has faced its devastating impact, An Affair of the Mind offers hope for the healing journey.

All of us need to be able to have a healthy confrontational conversation at one time or another.  Sometimes it's a matter of simply saying no so we don't get overextended, or saying yes to better ways of building intimacy in a good relationship.  At other times we may need to confront a difficult person in a relationship-a controller, a manipulator, an irresponsible person, perhaps even someone who is abrasive. 

Boundaries Face to Face empowers you to take the initiative in creating relationships that are honest, intimate, and fulfilling.  This companion to the best-selling book Boundaries shows how to have a helpful and effective confrontation with another person.  You'll learn how to talk to your spouse, someone you're dating, your kids, your coworker, your parents, and more.  Full of practical tips and how-tos, Boundaries Face to Face helps you make your relationships better, deepen your intimacy with people you care for, and cultivate more love, understanding, and respect between you and others.

Mishandling anger, stuffing it, or just trying to "manage" it can lead to conflict, bitterness, and physical, emotional, and metal, problems.  Not only can it damage you, it can ruin relationships with friends and loved ones.

Authors Neil Anderson and Rich Miller show you how God can set you free from self-deception and self-sufficiency so you can be who you are in Christ.  They explain the difference between righteous and unrighteous anger, and how living in grace and forgiving others allow you to throw off anger's chains.

Getting Anger Under control will help you beat strongholds of anger in your life so you can begin resting in the presence of Jesus and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit.  You can experience liberation and fulfillment and come to enjoy the riches of God's mercy and grace in greater ways than ever before.
